Over 2,000 litres of ‘hooch’ seized in jails in two years
The potent homebrew or ‘hooch’ is made from water, sugar, fruit, and bread, which is mixed in plastic bottles and left hidden in cells until it ferments.
Documents released under the Freedom of Information Acts reveal 2,046 litres of hooch was confiscated from prisoners in the State’s 14 detention centres in 2013 and 2014.
