How to make Wine in Prison
78
Prison wine…or prison hooch is made all the time by those that really want a taste of grandpa's old' cough medicine. It is commonly made in the cell toilet. The better choice, however, is to brew it in a trash bag.
Step #1: Make a strong bag by double or triple-bagging plastic trash bags.
Step #2: Pour warm water, your choice of fruit or fruit juice, raisons, tomatoes, yeast, and as much sugar as you can get. If sugar is not on hand, powdered drink mix will work also (kool-aid).
Note: (Many prisons make yeast illegal on the premises. In this case moldy bread does just fine. Slices should be moist and can be put in a sock to strain any stray elements.)
Step #3: Tie off the bag with a knot. Penetrate the bag with a straw, or some other type of tube to allow carbon dioxide to release.
Step #4: Hide the bag where your prison guard can't see it. Three days is enough, if you really can't wait. A week is a more reasonable time. Normal wine takes around a month to brew.
It is crucial that you hide the smell. Burning incense or spraying deodorant can help.

Why do you know this...you are a model, not a prisoner
Hey, Livelonger, after the first drink, who cares (or remembers) what the first one tasted like? LOL. Here's mud in your eye. Nice hub, bradwrage.
Yeah, but that first drink, fished out of a *prison toilet*...bleeeccchhh.
That's desperation.
but if you do it correctly you can get wine with like 14% alchol content which is really strong for jail made stuff
Well, I've been tempted to make my own wine for a long time, but I'll stick to a more conventional method...however, if I end up in jail: I won't forget this hub--I'll just ask my visitors to smuggle me in some plastic bags because the toilet thing could get nasty, especially if I have an AA attending cellmate.
this method of making jail brew is diffentlty the best from personal experince, but on the other hand you would like to shock your brew when finshed so it does not brew in your stomach that can cause some problems and make you puke everywhere something other inmates will not find amusing. once done with your brew place the bag in the toilet and flush repeat for a day or so flushing every 30min or hour to keep cold water on it. the more sugar you add the stronger the brew. stuff actually teaste like a nasty cooler but gets you drunk real well when made proper.
i am in the workhouse right now. very light security. i am going to start to make this tonight. FYI - thw workhouse is basically jail but i get relased to go to work.
I just got out of a Florida State Prison and we had some AWESOME buck there! I'm trying this at home now.....I'll let you know in about 3-5 days how it turns out.....Thanks!!!

thumbs up just for the title alone!
this works, the same instructions are in the book "you are going to prision" look it up. it usualy comes in at around 10-15 percent alcohol.
Why dont they just go to the canteen and get a six pack
Russ, because it's stuff you normally make in a state pen. You can't go to the canteen and get a six-pack. The whole point is to get drunk and be happy in a place where you are supposed to suffer, not unduly of course.
So they have to make it like this, disgusting, but if done right actually tastes minimally ok. Made some myself just a while back, of course I'm at home and I can use good ingredients so it doesn't turn out bad. Enjoy =)
Hey I found this article while searching for free anti virus software and I am lol ...I dont plan on being in jail in this life time but good to know. Let me know when you are making your next batch of hooch and i 'll bring the cheese man.

Hey, to stand up in defense of this author, I work as a volunteer at a local prison and knew some of this. So you don't have to be a criminal to have this knowledge!
As a matter of fact, I was volunteering last week when lunch was served with apple crisp that had raisins in it, and the Chaplain on duty said, "I wonder why they added raisins? The inmates will make hooch out of this...." And he's in there working, not as a criminal.
there is even an easier way to make this without the bread, all u need is 6 oranges, sugar, and a carton and a half of squeezed orange juice.... guys in prison normally get a jug along with their toothbrush etc. so they dont need a bag and can use jug
so squeeze 6 oranges into jug 1000ml.., leave for a week, you will see it start to ferment and seperate, shake well, put into bucket (which they normally have too) add 900ml of sugar, carton of squezzed orange juice, and 1000ml of boiling water, leave near heat for 2 hours, (radiator) then shake really well again, add another half carton orange juice and liter of cold water, shake well, leave near heat for one week and take away from heat and leave for another week, so 3 weeks in total, you could drink after 2 weeks but it would be even stronger after 3, my friend is doing life in prison and makes it all the time like this and said it tastes nice and you get drunk no problem from this !
should mention could need more then 6 oranges, whatever makes jug full (1000ml) and transfer to 2 litre bottle like 7up bottle or something where u leave for week to leave ferment... and then continue on with rest of it, should make a gallon of drink,hope this helps!
thanks i am in iraq an we cant have any wine or stuff like that an this will help
IMADE SOME IT WASNT BAD BUT IT WAS NOT STRONG ANOUGH 2 CATCH A BUZZ, BUT IM GONNA DO IT AGAIN AND HOPE 4 STRONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what we did is used a clear trash bag. put any fruit we could fine any we saved up all our apple juices and poured it in. luckliy we were right next to thekitchen workers pod so we had all the sugar we needed . then to strain it we would use our luandry pag placed over one of the large coofee. jugs
i have been in jail and did this often. this stuff is easy to do. we use a hunny bun for the yeast jolly ranchers for the sugar and whole peeled oranges and regular orange juice. put all this in a bottle then to make it cook wrap it in a towel and put in the microwave. then let it sit. evey couple hours cook it. the place i was at sold sodas so i used 20 oz bottles. really asy to make and will mess u up. by the way in prison a cup of this stuff goes for 2 packs of cigs. thats 7 dollars thats alot of money when you make a few bottles. thats in va.
1000ml 900 ml? wtf do you have a measuring cup on canteen?
I am most likely going back to jail next month. I live in Scotland and the jails over here are a LOT easier than they are over in the states. We have kettles in our cells which we could use for the measuring, or empty bottles of juice. We can't buy fruit on our canteen sheet but we can buy sugar and orange juice, and get 3/4 oranges per week if we choose the healthy option, (yeah, we get a menu for our dinners/lunches). Plastic bags are no problem either and we can get up to 6 slices of bread a day as they serve soup + bread with all the dinners. The cells only get raided maybe once a month also which is handy. Want to try this as not many people do it over here in jail, could be a pretty nice buisness. Thanks for this
Hell, the next time I get pinched... remind me to get pinched in Scotland!!!
...I think I just vurped a little... not for the weak of stomach -
been in jail often had hooch plenty of times costs 5dollars a qt. then they make something called white lightning 50 dollars a qt. idk how its made though. trying to look it up for a english descriptive essay im writing on fairton correctional facility.
I have been to prison in the state of oregon and our "system" is reletivley relaxed compared to other states and we made some pretty strong and not to bad tasting wine at OSP (oregon state pentitentiary) this way to ake it is for more lock down max security prisons and oregon only has one max prison thats OSP but its not run like a max.
i live in tx where i have been a CO in a state penn for a few years now i am in iraq and i find myself to where the knowledge shared by inmates in my line of work has came useful I used to find this stuff all the time it smells strong its made in bags kitchen workers smugle in the pod huge like 5gal thick bags. i find it and dump it right next to their cell drain cause it is heavy and i dont have to smell it well here in iraq i've made it a couple times but i rather wait for packages of liquor i get on the mail. and I don't advice getting locked up in TX specially in the huntsville area
dude, its all mixed now !!
the picture is showing a bag in a bigger container filled with water. and the hub doesn't mention anything about the big container, just a penetration to insert the straw. please i need help...
and if so, what do i put in the small bag (as a liquid), or should i the hole thing out of bag then put it in water in order to drink ???
Check out my vid on you tube on how to do another form of 'Inmate Brewing' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrvWlr9vXro
I'm making one the now using a 2L bottle, a 1L carton of apple juice, ½L of water, 1 cup of sugar, bakers yeast and a condom... it's fermenting away quite happily on top of the kitchen cupboard.
Ok ive been making wine for a while now, and the first time I used kool-aid and the packets of quick yeast and it was pretty good but after a while my wine making got more complicated, I now have a little still which is cool for making your wine into a brandy concoction but that one guy that posted on here said about white lightning thats almost impossible to make without a still or a distilling process. you need heat to seperate the alcohol from the yeast. thats why when you use a still the condensation from the alcohol you make from heat is strictly alcohol and you just use a jug or something to catch it when your done put it through the still again
so i dont think its possible for anyone to make whitelightning or anything close to that in prison. but thats just my opinion
I Make This Stuff all Da Time Minus The Tolite I Use Jugz But Ya Itz Some Pretty Good Shit After The First Glass Matter Of Fact Im Makeing Strawberry Kiwi Jail Wine Right Now HeHe !!!
theres lots of ways to still alcohol meako, in prison they just use a bucket with shrinkwrap on top a weight in teh middle of that and leave it in the sun or somewhere hot and the condensation forms on the clingwrap and drips into a cup in the middle, thats whitelightning.
i got a batch going right now. made with blackberries, apples, peaches, rasins, and rice. first you must pasturize the fruit by boiling it down to mush. let cool. then add to kicker which is basically the same as above but rotting fruit. mix together in a weight gain container. in a day or two, it will start to cook. you'll hear rice krispies. when the krikripies sound is gone, strain, add ice and serve.
the brew process is usually 3-5 days. i have seen it cook overnight but that was with 6th generation kicker and that stuff was really stong. i did alot of time at MCI-CEDAR JUNCTION (WALPOLE MA.). also some time at Santa Rita Co. Jail and also North County.
bleah taste too bad! i like white lighting better.

I have a LOT of questions about this hub.
1. Are you going to tell us how you learned about this?
2. I can easily imagine yeast not being available in prisons. But what about incense (& the matches/lighter to burn it?)?
3. What the hell is that kind of brew going to taste like? (Raisins and moldy bread)
4. Is there yeast in bread mold? I would think these would be competing fungi.
