Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that incarcerated prisoners make a contraband drink in prison called "pruno" which entails fermenting fruit, sugar cubes, bread, and water in a ziplock bag a several days. by FlashyBehind

Tell everyone why it's called toilet wine. 😉

Truthfully it is rarely made in toilets any longer since toilets in most correctional facilities have no tanks for hiding the garbage bag full of fruit liquor. Toilets on the other hand are often used as a cooking basin with a device called a stinger. Often inmates will exclusively defecate in an alternate toilet from their cell in order to keep their toilet clean for cooking.

I was a correctional officer once upon a time.

A stinger btw is just live more or less live wires that you use to heat up a thing. Either straight from the outlet or you run them through other metals like nail clippers or pencils or... Like an electric tea kettle I've seen in the UK shows basically but dangerous as fuck. Drop it in water, soon you got boiling water.

Man all that is beyond me. I was in jail not prison sooo.... Also I tried not to look when scumbag shit was going on anyway.

Even in jail, dudes who been familiar a few times and waiting to get transferred..... I'm a giant white dude who doesn't need to be noticed so I'm just gonna mind my business. Do your thing guys. Imma pray that I can get some ramen a few times a week.

You can't really call it ramen if contains slim Jim's and chips sir.

And it's good in the sense how... You ever meet old army infantry dudes who buy military MREs and are like "this Chili Mac made in 1997 is amazing brother". My brother does this. Gross. It's like that. it's gross but amazing.

It's more a slop soup type thing.

Also if you're a co or whatever... The fuck is up with pickles in the ramen casserole thing? Wtf. You got the slimjims or maybe sardines in the ramen mash thing.. why pickles? Always fuckin pickles. Find out and let me know

Only consistent shit is ramen and pickles. Sometimes it's slimjims sometimes sardines. Sometimes Doritos sometimes Cheetos. Sometimes bread sometimes not. Always pickles.

Also speaking of jail food. Get 2 honeybuns (or if you're lucky a danish pastry w cheese) and empty one of those tiny handsized boxes of your favorite cereal in the middle... Make a sandwich.it's legit great. Fruit loops, pebbles, Applejack's... Any of those colorful types. Amazing.
