news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090809/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd_inmates_hot_sauceFlorida inmates make, sell their own hot sauce Sun Aug 9, 3:27 pm ET TAMPA, Fla. – A group of Tampa inmates is offering a taste of what it's like jail — no locks, bars or handcuffs required. But you'd better have an tough stomach to use more than a dash of their "Jailhouse Fire Hot Sauce." Minimum-security Hillsborough County Jail inmates offer it in "Original," "Smoke" and "No Escape" varieties, all made from their jail-grown peppers. They came up with the recipe and started selling it in 2005. Since then, horticulture instructor Allen Boatman estimates they've made $10,000 on the sauce. Each bottle is $7. The income is used to keep up the greenhouse and buy basic supplies. ___

No Escape sounds like a keeper.

I'm not sure if I'd want to try that. I suppose the hot peppers and vinegar would kill the bacteria from foreign matter. I used to play baseball at the Federal Penitentiary at Rockview. The deal was, you bring a team to play against the inmates, they give you a free meal. I can tell you quite a few stories about all kinds of surprises found in the food. And I'd bet we ate some things we didn't know about too...
