    I was a resident at Mansfield Reformatory. 1989 through 1990, in Mansfield Ohio. Mansfield Reformatory would be shut down a short time later, and later this film would become the setting for one of the greatest prison movies ever made, The Shawshank Redemption.
    I was a kid when I was at Mansfield Reformatory, sentenced to three months for stealing a car. A lot of people, when I tell them about this little bit of my history, find it hard to believe. I have my prison records to prove it. Of course, being in prison isn't exactly the kind of thing one brags about, but my checkered past doesn't change the fact of my having been part of cinematic history.
    A few little interesting facts: The perspective of Andy, looking up at the windows while walking into Shawshank the first time, is the exact same perspective I had when walking into that door.
    The cells in the film are not the cells of Mansfield, that is, represented in Shawshank. They actually built a set for that part of the film because by the time the movie was made, the cells were in complete disrepair. In reality, they were tiny, claustrophobic. You had a metal footlocker that you shared with your roommate; there was a tiny sink and above it was a polished piece of steel for a mirror. The toilet was porcelain, stained brown with rust and age, looking like a small stool in the corner of the room.
    The shower room wasn't as it was portrayed in the movie. In reality, the Mansfield showers was nothing more than a single pipe hanging from the ceiling and running the length of the tiled room, and along the length of the pipe were shower nozzles that all came on at the same time. The water was always cold, there was no hot water. In fact, in order to get hot water in your cell, like for making the instant coffee you got from the inmate commissary (store), you had to wait for the delivery of hot water by inmate trustees.
    When Andy and the other inmates are lined up for orientation, that is, the little pep talk from the warden, that was not inmate intake at Mansfield. That is actually one of the many dayrooms at Mansfield that served many functions, including religious services. The chow hall where Andy finds the meal worm in his oatmeal looks to be the same dining area of Mansfield's Reformatory.
    The bus coming into the prison through that single gated entrance is the entrance prisoners came through at Mansfield, exactly the same thing. The same route. It was pretty much the way it was depicted in the Shawshank Redemption.
    Since the cell block depicted in the movie isn't the actual cell blocks of Mansfield, the image of the inmates marching single file down to the dining area isn't how it was at Mansfield. In fact, the walk to the chow hall was very cramped, the walkway in front of the cells barely as wide as a man, and contained from floor to ceiling with bars. And when you got to the end of the walkway you walked down these stairs in a zigzag pattern. The stairs had brass rails that is was my job to polish. Huge brass rails the size of one's arm. I didn't get paid for it, I volunteered so I could get out of my cell every day.
    Shawshank was a dark and depressing place.
    The film has a peculiar -- and dare I say -- special meaning to me. It represents one of the darkest periods of my life, for a number of reasons of which, none the least of which is my time at Shawshank prison.
    I was in a section of the prison where they kept lower security prisoners. After all, I was in for stealing a car {technically, receiving stolen property, plea bargain). I got 90 days and then I would have to be extradited back to Michigan to be charged for actually stealing the car. So they kept me and kids of my security level on a separate tier. I still had to fight, though, since I was surrounded by equally young kids who had something to prove -- gladiators, those with light sentences with nothing to lose and something to prove. And when we went to chow, we all had to parade by the old timers who were lounging around the tiers (we called them "rocks"), kind of like thugs hanging around the street corners. The very first time someone tapped my backside as I walked by, I went right at him, no questions, no conversation. That put me in the "hole", segregation, and probably increased my chances of being left alone when I was released from segregation, and I was never bothered again.
    Each tier was so tall, completely enclosed by bars and mesh. We called them birdcages. The only thing that compares in my mind is Jackson Penitentiary, or Michigan State Prison, also a historical landmark, in Michigan, only open for tours. I was extradited from Mansfield to Jackson, where I stayed waiting for orientation, where the powers that be decided my security level. Then I went to the Michigan Training Unit, Security Level Three, Camp Cupcake in some ways but brutal in others, since all the young thugs on their first sentences went there too. Don't let anyone tell you that a lower level is easier when doing time than a Level Four or Five. Ironically, higher security prisons are in many ways much safer, since you are locked down 23 hours a day, while in lower levels you are out and about all day, at least when I was inside.
    I will say that being inside has made me much more aware and more streetwise than if I hadn't been inside. I can talk to people and immediately recognize those who have done time to those who haven't. There is a way about them, an edge to their character, and there are the turns of phrase, the lingo, the rhetoric, their philosophy on life and friends and law enforcement. They have an appreciation for the little guy, and you can count on many of them to have your back, no matter the circumstances.
    I haven't committed a crime since then, but the self-awareness, the lessons and the perspective I have garnered having been inside have stayed with me. I'm a writer, and I have written often about my times inside. It will never leave me, those experiences. Just as the system will never allow me to forget, having denied me the right to vote, having made getting work difficult as a convicted felon, no matter how much time goes by, still, you know something? I myself will never forget either. It's as much a part of me as anything from my childhood. It is who I am. There is a saying: Ignorance is bliss. I wish I could go back to being ignorant about that life, but that isn't reality.
    It is what it is. But I also walk more confidently in my own skin. Living free isn't the same as living inside, surrounded by those who would take any advantage, would take everything from you without a moment's notice and without any thought. So I've been tried, tested, and so in some ways being inside has made me stronger. I wish I hadn't gone to prison, but I have, and I am stronger for it.

      Thank you, for sharing this and going out your way to do it. You're no nonsense prose gets to the point, direct, straight ahead, matter of fact and with total, unapologetic, zero F's given, your voice establishes a life spent having to deal in absolutes and bottom lines. A middle ground between no grey areas or silver linings, where you trapped in a neverending loop running round in circles while crashing into nothing but blind alleys and dead-ends, the roadblocks and quicksand a non stop vicious cycle at every turn. When you writing off the cuff from the gut, you got no time for pretense or metaphor. This style, the expression, your prose fit the subject matter, while communicating an eloquence and sense of lyricism throughout within its tough, uncompromising world viewpoint. It reads like the concerto by a cell block Beethoven. The mad hatter opera of no hope, zero tolerance and bad luck. An artist residency program with no possibility of parole. Every line you write is a brass knuckles symphony. You make beautiful music where your true spirit sours like a Phoenix, but with the quiet power less a resurrection than it is a reckoning of one man's personal rapture whose had to hide one's true nature, very lifeforce and blood spirit behind a value system not his own and code of conduct forged by concrete and asphalt, that still can't conquer the undeniable cosmic potency and authority you yield with paper and pen, prose and text you will into existence with the thunderclap, raw otherworldly mushroom cloud impact of your shared active volcanic life experiences that clearly've erupted from someone with the heart of a lion, uniqueness of a mythical beast of sound and fury and soul of a poet.
      I hope you keep writing, I wish you peace, I pray you find the salvation that you, if not seek, don't feel deserve, then at least definitely earned and find you despite all else and you get anyway regardless. Your story really got to me.

    The cool thing about this movie is that the book (which I FINALLY got around to reading late last year when I taught it to HS seniors) is also very good, but it ends with Red on the bus. The story goes that test audiences HATED that ending and the filmmakers added the scene with him and Andy reuniting on the beach. That extra minute or so makes a HUGE difference in the ending as a viewer.

    My personal theory is that the Warden had the parole board in his pocket so he could hang on to the inmates and justify more government funding for his job and use them as slaves - that's why Red and the other inmates kept getting their parole appeals rejected, until right after the Warden's removal. Without the Warden's bribes (and probably a shakeup of the parole board during the ensuing investigation), the obstacle to their paroles was finally removed.

    • @morothane
      @morothane 5 дней назад +2

      Agreed! Though, I can’t remember if this is heavily implied or some Mandela Effect because modern prison systems outsource labor to cities/counties paying literal pennies per hour for an inmate to weed whack a median.
      The Pennies would go to the inmates account, but the difference up to federal minimum wage would be given to the jail or prison.

    • @arrow1414
      @arrow1414 4 дня назад +2

      Nah, Red was rejected I think because he wasn't being honest with what he did, saying what he thought the Parole Board wanted to hear. The Board detected that.
      The third time he was honest and what he said was heart felt. Plus it was the 1960s and there was a feeling of prison reform; and he did serve 40 years so the Board, IMHO, thought he was honest and served enough time.

    • @jeffreysmith236
      @jeffreysmith236 День назад

      A statistical analysis of parole board decisions has determined that your odds of receiving parole depend the most on the hunger of the board. Having your hearing immediately after breakfast or lunch tremendously improves those odds. Sounds very likely to me.

    Enjoyed reading-watching this with you. It’s really a story about a beautiful friendship, isn’t it? Andy and Redd were BOTH true blue friends.

    This movie is truly a masterpiece, way up there with the likes of "It's a wonderful life". This is timeless. And it never fails to choke me up.

    The great thing about this movie is that people think this movie is about Andy. It’s not. It’s about Red and him finding hope.

      And the "Redemption" in the title is Red's. Andy was innocent, he didn't need to be redeemed, but Red did.

      It doesnt matter. Who is pulp fiction about ? But since Morgan Freeman tells the story , i think most people do understand he is the lead.

      For what it's worth I feel if Red didn't have Andy's task and the hope it inspired in him to take on when he got out, he would've gone Brooks route.

    Great reaction to a great movie one of my top 10 movies of all time. Just some fyi from the movie for you.
    1- When Redd is first introduced to us, the photo of him as a young man is the actual son of Morgan Freeman.
    2- You also see his son in brief part in the movie, that is when Andy first arrives, he was the guy with the hat on pretending to be fishing.
    3- In the book the part of Redd was a white Irish guy… even in the movie, but the director loved Morgan playing the part, so they kept that line in the movie when Andy asked Redd why do they call you Redd and he says maybe because I’m Irish.
    4- Andy was very lucky to have and be put in the end cell… if he was in the middle cell no way to break out.
    5- When Brooks is released from prison, when he walks out and the gate shuts behind, that signifies that he was still trapped inside the prison.
    6- When Redd is released we see him leave the prison and this time the gate is in front of him, this means he was free unlike Brooks.
    7- When Andy told Redd about something hidden under a rock, he was giving Redd hope, there was nothing there when Andy told him, it was put there after he escaped.
    8- They did not have this ending in the first cut, the ending was Redd on bus driving away, when it was shown to a test audience they did not like it that Andy and Redd never United. So the went back and add the last scene that you see.
    Will if you got this far by reading everything, I appreciate it as I am a movie puff and have watched over 2500 movies in my life… I would love for you to do another movie from a King novel and also done by the same director and it’s called The Mist if you haven’t done it yet…. Looking forward to it… I became a subscriber today 👍.

    @Devin G Insane that this and Green Mile were ALSO written from Stephen King......"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies" A quote I have always loved but it hits even harder trying to live 0out the rest of my life without my wife, and do so to try an make her proud even or especially when 75% of the time I no longer wish to be here...... As always continue to seek out greatness Devin. The best films from the 1930's til now always touch the soul..... have a lovely week Sir :) and yes hopefully this summer or fall you seek out Xmen 97.

    Thunder hits moments after the lightening, supposedly 0.2 seconds per mile away from you that the lightning is. Andy was looking at the lightning, then waiting for the thunder to come so that it covered up the sound of his hitting the pipe with the rock.

I went last year and unfortunately ppl stole items and it is now not as wonderous as it once was. It is still an amazing building... the architecture is beautiful, but will never be as good as my first visit.

    I am a retired police officer from Berlin-Germany. There are people against whom a great white shark is a goldfish but sometimes these sharks also swim in front of the bars. For several years I was a member of a special unit that also apprehended such dangerous perpetrators during their operations. They are in prison and should live until their biological end, if sentenced for that long.
    stay there too. Society must be protected from beasts. We don't have the death penalty in Germany and that's a good thing. Even a single misjudgment reduces this punishment to absurdity. And there are errors in judgment galore. We are the state and cannot say "then it just happened,
    so what?" What kind of a state takes its own mistakes, whether in the judiciary or the police, as a given. It's not about normal mistakes that can happen to anyone, but systematic misconduct. You have to draw the right conclusions from it. But It cannot be the case that state institutions such as
    The judiciary and police apply their own rights. The book and the film hold a mirror up to society. What if, like here, the justice system and its system are worse than the inmates (beasts excluded). You have the power of law and order, so you have to stick to it, otherwise you won't be a bit better than them.
    who have been locked up.
    After 50 years, Brooks is released into “freedom” without any preparation. Either they fulfill their responsibility or they leave it alone. Or is suicide already part of their program, according to the motto "Out of sight, out of mind"?
    In my country from 1933 to 1945 there was war, dictatorship, injustice, Murder and manslaughter are the form of government. It could be eliminated by others (allies). We in West Germany understood the lesson and changed a lot. I never want to live in a country of injustice again. This is also possible in other countries.
    Stephen King became, certainly unintentionally, a moral authority, it's worth listening to him. For, like so many of his works, the book, the film and the actors an A+

      I believe in capital punishment, but I can't trust the State and the people who run it to be allowed to implement it. Prosecutors are greedy ambitious lawyers too, they are not morally superior to anyone, they violate the rights of the accused all the time. Then I read an account of a forensic pathologist who had a long career in many different states, and after being investigated, was discovered to have falsified many, many, many test results over decades. And of course falsely testified in court about those tests, many hundreds of guilty verdicts were thrown into doubt. If there is one corrupt lying pathologist, there are many more.

    I recently aaw an interview with Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman that they originally ended the film with Redd on the bus. The studio (and probably test audiences) wanted a more satisfying ending, so they did reshoots in St. Thomas (or some such place) for 3 weeks to add the meeting on the beach.

It's one of my absolute favorite movies. Now I'mma check out the rest of this video and I ain't gonna say another word.

    I saw this on video the day it came out (it bombed at the theater and it was a Christmas release and not promoted)
    My mom was a big fan of Morgan Freeman for "Clean and Sober" (underrated) and a super fan of Stephen King. I read story from Different Seasons and it was a good story.
    Not much was changed from the story (Tommy was not killed but transferred to another prison, the book ends with Red on the bus), movie made this story timeless. This is just one of the perfect movies. Even if TNT and other channels showed non stop.(and still do).

  • @garyboulware4672

    Imo, this movie is the best to come out of the 90s. Everything about it is so beautifully done. I say this as someone who saw Jurassic Park twice in the theaters (my parents were probably annoyed), loved Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and BTTF 3.
    Yes, this is a hill I am willing to die on.

    The beach scene was shot later after the original production has ended. Someone decided they needed for people see Red and Andy reunite. The bus scene just before the end where you hear the final words " I hope" is where it originally ended. There is a trail you can follow to a marker where Red and Andy reunited, Sandy Point Beach, St Croix, US Virgin Islands
