message: The article says that pruno can cause blindness .. afaik you'd have to distill it improperly in order for the methanol to make you blind. 212.50.147.101 20:46, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Don't prison guards exist? Are they not constantly butting in on what prisoners are doing? Do prisoners REALLY have this much unsupervised free time? This and anal rape seem bizarrely implausible in the presumed situation of being constantly monitored.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 02:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I was introduced to pruno (and the process for making it) in the US Army infantry while on tour in Iraq. It is not very common, but having since deployed several times, I can say that it would be correct to include the US Army or military as possible settings for the creation of pruno. Alcohol is strictly forbidden and considered contraband in warzones. The guy that showed me how to make it used "regular" yeast, but I had my brother send champagne yeast from the States to increase my yield. 45.59.229.58 (talk) 23:15, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Back in 2016 at West County Detention Facility in Richmond, California in the . No it does not taste like bile, it's honestly better tasting than MD20/20, or at peast what I made was. I only used fruit though, tried but couldnt get any sugar (store privelges taken away for making pruno) and I heard that in San Francisco jail they use Ketchup. That came from what my Econ teacher heard from a sheriff, so grain of salt, but if true that would taste like bile I imagine. Given that the same shot caller who gave me an earful over how we were white and had to "hold ourselves to a higher standard" (his words not mine) because my cell was disorganized and then a day or two later I heard him talking about how he was plotting to get the cup of tobacco spit from the garbage that a deputy threw away to roll cigarettes out of. So you are dealing with people who have a warped view of what standards are to say the least, and so anything is possible.
I know it's improper to use myself as a source so I won't, but l'll just say that making decent pruno out of apples, oranges and bananas (I'm the only one I know of that used anything other than oranges because of the work and mess involved) is really easy and is definitely better tasting than the heavily artificial lower end alcohol products that people are buying from the store legitimately, be it for less than what the ingredients of the pruno I made would likely cost. 24.130.235.152 (talk) 20:19, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
