I remember my first night. Seems like a long time ago. The boys always go fishin' with first-timers and they don't quit till they reel someone in. His first night in the joint, Andy Dufresne cost me two packs of cigarettes. He never made a sound.
Andy kept pretty much to himself at first. I guess he had a lot on his mind trying to adapt to life on the inside. Wasn't until a month went by before he opened his mouth to say more than two words to somebody. As it turned out that somebody was me. I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby. He had a quiet way about him a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here. He strolled like a man in the park without a care or a worry in the world. Like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place. I think it'd be fair to say I liked Andy from the start.
Andy was right. I finally got the joke. It would take a man about 600 years to tunnel under the wall with one of these. I wish I could tell you Andy fought the good fight and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that but prison is no fairy-tale world.He never said who did it.But we all knew. Things went on like that for a while. Prison life consists of routine and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him. Sometimes he was able to fight them off. Sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy. That was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him. And I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would get the best of him. But then, in the spring of 1949, the powers that be decided: The roof of the license-plate factory needs resurfacing. I need a dozen volunteers for a week's work. As you know, special detail carries with it special privileges.
It was outdoor detail. And May is one damned fine month to be working outdoors. More than a hundred men volunteered for the job. Wouldn't you know it? Me and some fellows I know were among the names called. It only cost us a pack of smokes per man. I made my usual 20 percent, of course.
