How to make Wine in Prison
77
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.
Check me out on hubpages.com
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
