Inside the prison, he faces the harsh realities of prison life, including corruption, violence, and the oppressive rule of the prison warden, Samuel Norton (played by Bob Gunton). However, Andy maintains his innocence and befriends Red (played by Morgan Freeman), an inmate known for his ability to procure contraband. Over the years, Andy becomes a valuable asset to both the prisoners and the prison staff due to his financial knowledge and skills. He helps the guards with their tax returns and eventually helps Warden Norton in money laundering schemes. In return, Andy receives certain privileges and manages to improve the prison library and the lives of his fellow inmates. Throughout his time in prison, Andy maintains hope and dreams of freedom.
