Please go easy on me, as this is my first semi decent sized Rust project and there's definitely quite a bit of work left to to. It's nothing special, really just made it for myself as a more convenient way to test api endpoints for work. Definitely didn't want to post about it at first, but after struggling with it a bit, if I can bring some awareness to criminal justice reform by showcasing that someone can go from years of solitary confinement, to remote employment as an engineer while working on a college degree all while still incarcerated. This highlights the importance of availability and access to education in the prison system. Please check out the bottom of the README. I prob should write a blog post or something, if I can get it approved. Constructive feedback is appreciated.


Thanks so much for sharing your project and story <3


Would love to see a post about your prison situation and how you are getting back on your feet
