shoot. I came to Shawshank when I was just 20 and I am one of the few people in our happy little family here who is willing to own up to what he did. I committed murder. I put a large insurance policy on my wife who was three years older than I was and then I fixed the brakes of the Chevrolet coupe. Her father had given us as 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 to 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're told when to eat when you can write letters, when you can smoke. If you're at work in the laundry or on the plate shop, you're assigned five minutes of each hour when you can go to the bathroom.
