Watching Shawshank Redemption was not only a fantastic journey‚ but it also made me question some of my beliefs regarding inmates. Andy Dufresne’s character conveyed a kind spirit even though the people he was surrounded by were anything but. Red’s mockery of the behavior assessment committee was especially poignant of what perspective of prisoners. Though I had never considered prisoners to be drastically different people‚ I had never realized how similar they were to us. The idea of contrasting
