Pruno
Pruno, also known as prison wine, is an alcoholic beverage that is typically made in prisons. It is made from various fruit and sugar, which are fermented to produce alcohol. The process of making pruno is often improvised due to the limited resources available in prison.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients used in making pruno are fruit, sugar, and yeast. The fruit can be any type that is available, such as apples, oranges, or grapes. The sugar is used to feed the yeast, which in turn produces alcohol through the process of fermentation. Other ingredients that may be used include bread, ketchup, and even candy.
Process[edit | edit source]
The process of making pruno involves several steps. First, the fruit is mashed and mixed with water in a container. The container is then sealed and left to ferment for several days. During this time, the yeast consumes the sugar in the fruit, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. The mixture is then strained to remove the solid materials, and the liquid is left to ferment for a few more days. The result is a potent alcoholic beverage that is often consumed in prisons.
Health Risks[edit | edit source]
There are several health risks associated with consuming pruno. The unsanitary conditions in which it is made can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria, which can cause food poisoning. In addition, the high alcohol content can lead to alcohol poisoning, especially if consumed in large quantities. There have also been cases of botulism associated with pruno, due to the use of rotten fruit or other contaminated ingredients.
Legal Issues[edit | edit source]
The production and consumption of pruno is illegal in most prisons. This is due to the health risks associated with its consumption, as well as the potential for it to be used in violent incidents. Despite this, it continues to be made and consumed in many prisons around the world.
