Product Vision For Prisoner Skills

Proposal

• What problem does your app solve? Lack of access to information regarding prisoner skills. Without this access, prison admins cannot fully coordinate prisoner work time, and without that work time, prisoners lack access to opportunities to become more employable.
• Be as specific as possible; how does your app solve the problem?

Creates profile pages for each prisoner showcasing their skill sets. These profile pages are accessible to the prison admins and potential employers.

Prototype Key Feature(s)

• This is the “bread and butter” of the app, this is what makes your app yours. Calculate how long it takes to implement these features and triple the time estimated. That way you’ll have plenty of time to finish. It is preferred to drop features and spend more time working on your MVP features if needed.

  Product Description
  

This app allows prison management to broadcast the skills of inmates to make better use of their time using their skills to make a wage and becoming more employable after prison.

MVP Features Breakdown:

This app contains two user types. A prison admin (who has the ability to log in) and a single user (no need to log in so no need for user data to be persisted on this user type) who can view posted profiles by prison.

Home Page (For potential employer):

No need to log in. Contains a list of prisons who have posted prisoner profiles. Each prison is laid out in a grid format, with the name of the prison, number of people available to work (total number of entries a given prison admin has submitted), and the physical address/location of the prison. Clicking on a prison takes you to the prisoner profile page.

Prisoner Profile page:

Accessed from the home page, non-logged in users can view the list of profiles created by the prison they clicked on.

Single Profile Page:

Users can click on a single post to read more of the description.

Home Page (For a prison):

If no profile is created, be sure to allow a prison to create a profile and add it to the list of prisons on the general home page. After an admin logs in, they are directed to a page where they can see the people’s profiles they’ve created in a list view, and have options to create new one.

Create profile page:

An admin can create a prisoner’s profile. Should include name, availability (permissions to work in prison only or able to have work leave), and list of skills and/or previous work experience. The profile can be edited and deleted after creation.

Navigation:

Navigation is present on all pages, Users should know what page is active by clicking on a nav link and activating their tab.

• Stretch Goal:

A single user could search for prisons by entering their zip code and defining a search radius. An admin can upload a pdf of a prisoner’s resume.
