Why do many American prisons have to ban fruit circulation?

The reason is simple, because humankind is a true "hard to show wisdom"!

As you know, alcohol is always prohibited in prisons . But prisoners still find ways to "circumvent the law, " such as hiding alcohol from outside, or even trying to produce alcohol from the materials and equipment available right in the cell.

That's why in the world there is a wine labeled as sourced from prisons. This wine has many names, but the most commonly used name is pruno . And to tell the truth, the way to make this wine is extremely easy, because the prisoners have to take advantage of the things available in the cell.

It only takes fruits, potatoes and sugar to make pruno.

Ingredients include fruit (be it apple, orange or grapefruit), sugar, yeast and water . Just crush the fruit, mix it with sugar and water, and place it in a sealed plastic bag. The next step is to wrap it in a towel or socks, and place it in a dark and warm place.

Prisoners often hide it under beds, in niches, trash cans, even in toilets. In addition, the bathroom and the laundry room are the best places to hide the pruno composting bags because if they are found they are simply thrown away and their owners won't have to be in trouble.

After a few days, just add the yeast and wait for a few days to have alcohol. For prisoners, yeast can be found in bread or crackers that are distributed during meals.

Well, going to jail, not having a vacation, but you guys demand alcohol? Therefore, this wine after being discovered has led to the fruit being banned in prison.

How will Pruno wine taste?

Pruno is of course not a good wine but according to the experience of those who have tried it, the taste is difficult to be called delicious. Some YouTubers who have tried pruno have different comments: people say it's not bad, it tastes like rice wine, but others say it smells like . trash for a few days. Meanwhile, the pruno made in the video is already a much more "hygienic" version with the "original" pruno .

Pruno is of course not a very good wine, but having a drink in prison is good, nor can it require much.

But one thing that is more important than the taste is that pruno was once suspected to be the cause of botulism (Clostridium botulinum poisoning) outbreak in two California prisons in 2004 and 2005. According to as assumed by the CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), it was the potatoes used to make pruno the root of the problem.

Until 2012, another botulism outbreak occurred among prisoners in prisons in Arizona and Utah.
