New York State Clean Hand Sanitizer, Prison Labor
Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced "New York State Clean," a hand sanitizer produced by the state's prison labor division, Corcraft. Cuomo touted the product's 75% alcohol content and "floral bouquet" scent as superior to commercial competitors. The sanitizer was distributed to government agencies and schools to combat shortages and price gouging by private retailers.
