When Andy returns from the infirmary, he requests a poster of Rita Hayworth from Red, which Red dutifully procures, and which Andy soon hangs on his wall.Īs word of Andy's financial expertise becomes more widely known, the warden, Norton, offers Andy a position working in the prison library, where he can better help guards (and Norton) with their financial concerns. When Bogs and the Sisters next attack Andy, they beat him up so bad that he is put in the infirmary, but Hadley, newly ingratiated to the former banker, avenges his attack by beating Bogs to a pulp, to such an extent that Bogs gets transferred to a hospital. As a former banker, Andy offers to help Hadley avoid taxation and earns some protection from the bullyish captain. While working, he hears the captain of the guards, Byron Hadley, complaining about an exorbitant tax on his inheritance, and Andy sees an opportunity. As a way of avoiding this abuse, Andy takes up a week-long job tarring the roof of a nearby factory. Early on Andy becomes the target of persistent rape from a gang called the “The Sisters” and their leader, Bogs. Shawshank is a cruel and unforgiving environment, with merciless guards, violent outbursts, and frequent instances of sexual assault. Andy approaches Red after a month of incarceration requesting a rock hammer in order to pick up his old hobby of rock collecting and shaping. Red is known as the “man who knows how to get things” and can get almost anything a prisoner could want from the outside world. In prison, he strikes up a friendship with a fellow inmate, Red, who has been in Shawshank for 20 years. Andy is adamant in defending his innocence, but the evidence is overwhelming and he is sentenced to two life sentences in Shawshank Prison.
