Apparently even inmates are makers, using whatever means available. There has been a problem with prisoners brewing their own alcohol with fresh fruit and sugar, increasing violence and perpetuating alcoholism in the system. I found a recipe for this so called “pruno,” and as gross and unsafe as the process is (do not try this at home), I thought I’d share. As the site says, “Even people who have never had any trouble with the law can learn to make this horrible, putrid beverage!”
