Why didn't they simply add something to block prisoners from receiving these checks?

And why would Tsarnaev need it anyway? To get a cracker with this soup? He's locked up 23 hours per day. Maybe he can buy some books. He doesn't even deserve to read, IMO.

Washington Post Reduces Tom Cotton’s Pinocchio Rating over Boston Bomber Stimulus Check

The Washington Post reduced Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AK) Pinocchio rating from 2021 after it was revealed Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev did receive a coronavirus relief payment from a bill Democrats passed last year.

In March 2021, as Congress debated passing another coronavirus relief bill, Senator Cotton warned the piece of legislation would allow for violent criminals like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Dylan Roof to receive a government check.

At the time, the Washington Post argued Cotton had engaged in “scaremongering” as well as political “theater,” asserting stimulus checks would not be sent to the Boston bomber.

“The goal was to get checks out as quickly as possible without burdensome regulations,” argued the Post. “It’s hard to craft rules that target mass murderers without also penalizing the families of people in prison for much less heinous crimes.”
