The hand sanitizer does "clean" their breaths though lol. I've found different "variations" of hooch and awhile back, cottage cheese made from old milk. 

Thank you for this interesting post.  From what I know of inmates' descriptions of its effects, the name pruno is apropos.  I understand it gives a brutal hangover, no matter how "expert" the making.

Drinking hand sanitizer sounds to be at least as wretched.  

Mean drunks ready to fight.  The climate inside is bad enough without the added risk.  

Hats off to our correctional officers.

 That's actually kind of interesting because I was taught in a drug/alcohol class that it was the wrong kind of alcohol (and in a lethal concentration) in hand sanitizer.  I'm surprised theyre not trying the mouthwash filtered through a loaf of bread to remove most of the green coloring.

 I heard that inmates ferment fruit in a bag with sugar. Maybe that's just the people who don't want to drink hand sanitizer.

Thank you for this, this explains the bread I've been finding outside my Unit.

Also, what the rest of you guys are referring to is Isopropanol. We've had to secure any chemicals containing Isopropanol (mop cleaner and window cleaner) and issue out as needed. The method of extracting the Isopropanol from the mixed chemical is called "Salting Out" (I would have linked a Wikipedia source, but this is the 4th time I've try to post a reply now and it was rejected due to "prohibited HTML markup"). My suggestion is to check your chemical MSDS (material safety data sheet) for Isopropanol and secure those chemicals.
