The hand sanitzer, Cuomo said, will be produced by Corcraft, the business name of the New York State Department of Corrections, which uses prison labor, and pays prisoners an average of 65 cents an hour, to create things like license plates, Gothamist reports. At $6 a gallon, the moonshine sanitizer will be significantly cheaper than the store-bought stuff, which has recently been selling as high as $100+ a gallon, even after Cuomo vowed to crack down on outbreak-related price gouging. Cuomo said the state should be able to produce 100,000 gallons of the stuff a week.

"We're introducing NYS clean hand sanitizer, made conveniently by the state of New York," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "This is a superior product to products now on the market."

Cuomo joked that the NYS-made hand sanitizer had a "floral bouquet", and that NY State was sending a lesson to "Mr. Ebay and Mr. Amazon" - presumably referring to the sellers using those platforms to gouge consumers.

He added that the state's product is 75% alcohol compared to name-brand competitor Purell, which is made of 70% alcohol. Health officials recommend using a hand sanitizer made of at least 60 percent alcohol, per the Hill.
