Detailed explanation-2: -What do they spray on inmates? The OC aerosol spray is a less-than-lethal inflammatory agent derived from a pepper biodegradable resin. As an inflammatory agent, it causes a burning sensation on the skin; tearing and closing of the eyes; and swelling of the mucus membranes.
