I came to Shawshank when I was just 20 and I am one of the few people in our happy little family who is willing to own up to what I did. I committed murder. I put a large insurance policy on my wife, who was three years older than I Waas, and then I fixed the brakes of the Chevy coupe. Her father had given us a wedding present, except I hadn't planned on her, stopping to pick up the neighbor woman and the neighbor woman's infant son on the way down Castle Hill and into town. I've told you as well as I can, how it is to be an institutionalized man. At first you can't stand those four walls, then you get so you can abide them. Then you get so you can accept them. And then, as your body and your mind and your spirit adjust to life on an H o scale, you get to love them. You are told when to eat when you can write letters when you can smoke. If your work in the laundry or the plate shop, you're assigned five minutes of each hour when you can go to the bathroom.
