A little while ago i was watching a documentary about our prisons. (I am
in London,UK).
Inmates were making an alcoholic brew in plastic bags, just using all
their old fruit peelings and some bread yeast.
Seeing how much we 'waste' old fruit peelings at home, i just thought i
would try this out as an experiment.
My question is: are there any fruit peelings that i should *not* use,
like banana skins or orange peel, etc ? Or are there any vegetable
peelings that i could also use, that would not give an undue bad taste?

Be careful. Peelings in our "modern" world can contain all sorts of >pesticide. When you drink this stuff you might expose your body to a
high concentration of those.

The solution to that problem is to use only organic fruits and
vegetables.
To the OP: here in the States, prison wine is called "pruno."
Lots of info about it online.
I've never tried it, but my guess is that potato peels would be
useful in such an experiment. Millions of vodka drinkers can't
be wrong.
The guy I bought my house from was a prison guard. He said they
keep their yeast locked up, using the same security measures they
use for the drugs in the infirmary. The prisoners love getting
their hands on real yeast.
