Cuomo's Prison Workers Say They're Not Actually Making Hand Sanitizer

[Vice] Inmates told VICE that they're really just putting a mysterious vendor's existing product in 'NYS Clean' bottles.

"...according to workers at Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Comstock, New York where the hand sanitizer is being "made," as well as a spokesperson for the prison system, they are doing nothing more than taking existing hand sanitizer and rebottling it into packaging labeled NYS Clean.
...

But according to a NYSDOCCS spokesperson, the hand sanitizer itself is being produced by an outside vendor he would not name; the Great Meadow Facility is only bottling and labeling it. Neither NYSDOCCS nor the governor's office would respond to repeated questions about why the state would need to use prison labor to bottle hand sanitizer, nor did the governor's office respond to questions about Cuomo's pitch that this was a cheaper, more effective option than buying bottled hand sanitizer outright."

I wonder if the "outside vendor" sources the ingredients, if not the actual product, from China.
