After Norton realizes that Andy won’t be caught, he quits his job.Stephen King was born in 1947 in Portland, Maine. When Andy escapes Shawshank in 1975, Norton breaks down in anger. criminal justice and correctional systems more generally to provide justice or rehabilitation. Norton exemplifies both the corruption within the prison system and the failures of the U.S.

This malicious behavior seems motivated partly by fear that Andy, if free, could inform the police of Norton’s financial crimes and partly by a desire to break Andy’s proud, dignified spirit. When Andy brings this story to Norton, Norton refuses to believe it, puts Andy in solitary confinement, and ensures Tommy’s silence by bribing him with a transfer to a lower-security prison. In 1963, a newer prisoner named Tommy Williams tells Andy that his cellmate at a previous prison, Elwood Blatch, claimed to have murdered Glenn Quentin and Linda Collins Dufresne, the crime for which Andy is incarcerated, during a burglary.

Andy launders money for Norton in order to protect himself and avoid a cellmate, as he has laundered money for previous wardens. After he founds an “Inside-Out” extramural prison-labor program at Shawshank, he uses it to embezzle money and extort business owners without access to free prison labor.

A devout Baptist who forces a New Testament on every man who enters Shawshank, Norton is also (according to Red) the “foulest hypocrite” among all the prison’s corrupt administrators. Samuel Norton is one of Shawshank prison’s wardens while Red and Andy Dufresne are incarcerated there.
