There’s a guy like me in every state and federal prison in America, I guess-I’m the guy who can get it for you Tailormade cigarettes, a bag of reefer if you’re partial to that, a bottle of brandy to celebrate your son or daughter’s high school graduation, or almost anything else . . . within reason, that is. It wasn’t always that way. <\/p>\n

I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty, and I am one of the few people in our happy little family willing to own up to what the did. I committed murder. I put a large insurance policy on my wife who was three years older than I was, and then I fixed the brakes c the Chevrolet coupe her father had given us as a wedding present. ] worked out exactly as I had planned, except I hadn’t planned on he stopping to pick up the neighbor woman and the neighbor woman infant son on their way down Castle Hill and into town. The brake let go and the car crashed through the bushes at the edge of the town common, gathering speed. Bystanders said it must have bee doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue an burst into flames. <\/p>\n

I also hadn’t planned on getting caught, but caught I was. I got a season’s pass into this place. Maine has no death-penalty, but the District Attorney saw to it that I was tried for all three deaths and given three life sentences, to run one after the other. That fixed up any chance of parole I might have for a long, long time. The judge called what I had done “a hideous, heinous crime,” and it was, but it is also in the past now. You can look it up in the yellowing files of the Castle Rock Call, <\/i>where the big headlines announcing my conviction look sort of funny and antique next to the news of Hitler and Mussolini and FDR’s alphabet soup agencies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
