Serving two life sentences consecutively either means, or used to mean, that as soon as the convict is eligible for parole for the first sentence, the second sentence starts, and it will be another seven years or so until the convict is actually eligible for parole.

[@j.woodbury412]

I think the reason they finally granted him his parole the third time was because the first two times they thought his speech sounded rehearsed or memorized. it was probably what they heard from every prisoner who was up for parole- "Yes, I'm a changed man. I've learned my lesson. I'm no longer a threat to society". But the last time, he sounded sincere, like he was really taking responsibility for his actions, especially when he said "I'd like to have a talk with that young man and tell him how things are". They knew he wasn't just saying what he thought they wanted him to say so he could get out. He was speaking from his heart.

[@gmunden1]

I'm the Stephen King book, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," the character Red (Redding) is Irish. When director, Frank Darabont cast Morgan Freeman, they used the quote as an inside joke because of the casting change. Readers of the book immediately understood the meaning of the quote when they watched this scene in the film.

[@garethm3242]

It's also a more basic surface joke to those unfamiliar with the short story. "Maybe it's because I'm Irish" - the joke being that red hair is an Irish trait, so works as a joke as he's clearly unlikely to have Irish heritage.

Sears and Roebuck was a chain of huge department stores originally started as a mail order catalog in 1892 that would basically sell anything and everything. And that white stuff was de-lousing powder. I think Red got paroled because he finally told the parole board what he really thought, instead of what he thought the parole board wanted to hear.

[@WarKrieg]

How do you say this but omit the most obvious fact, which is that Sears and Roebuck is simply the old name for Sears, which is still around and that they probably know. As recently as the 90s when they were kids, Sears had huge stores everywhere.

@@everyonelovesmajima Yeah but @WarKrieg 11's comment is still valid. The reactors said they were born in 1992. Even though the Sears company had been in decline for awhile, the big wave of store closings didn't start until the 2010s (bankruptcy was in 2018). Also, Sears TV commercials were all over the place through the reactors' childhood and teen years. I guess maybe it's a "Mandela Effect" thing that a lot of people think Sears shrunk up and went away earlier than it truly did.

[@GramadinGG]

One of the points of the story I think is that people in prison are still people. They're not animals. They're being punished for their crimes by being there. Thinking the things they are going through somehow count less because they committed a crime is wild. Stephen King is a great storyteller. Good reaction.

I was convicted for growing Marijuana in the Orange Hills in California in1988. I was sentenced to 16 months in prison, first offense. I found jail to be much worse than prison, but my experiences are with a one yard, non-violent offenders. In jail, they haven't classified anyone yet, so you could be next to an accused murderer or other violent type.

[@jmiyagi12345]

Had a buddy who did both - he, too, said he preferred prison, for similar reasons. Said he would rather do a year in prison than 30 days in jail.

[@orangeandblackattack]

the additional life sentences do have a purpose. It extends the period of time they gotta serve before they are eligible for first parole hearing. If 1 life sentence requires 20 years served before parole, 2 life sentences means he has to wait 40 years for his first hearing. They rarely give out more than 2 because they will be so old it wont matter.

[@georgeanthony7282]

Exactly my point... but I guess even critics who understand nothing about the law can have their say-though it carries virtually no merit since these two don't bother to educate themselves on the subject at hand.

[@mattjamison484]

Some corrections and clarifications: A life sentence is 25 years. And they give life sentences either consecutive or concurrent. And they are given per count of murder. So 2 murders could give 2 life sentences that serve at the same time(concurrent) meaning only 25 years is required before parole or back to back(consecutive) meaning 50 years to serve. And they give multiple sentences to "hedge their bets", if you beat a conviction on one count, you still have to serve life on the other. So your last sentence is completely false.

[@andrewriley6862]

It ran the same year as Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump. Gump got the Oscar. In fact, I believe Shawshank didn't even perform well in theaters, some attribute it to the movie title but had a big resurgence in rentals and tv.

[@hypocritex]

What a year for movies.

[@Eidlones]

Shawshank came out during a very heavy period of "tough on crime" in the states. Criminals weren't intended to be seen as people, just violent criminals that needed to be locked away. The masses had no desire to feel sympathetic towards criminals, so they stayed away

[@CoryGasaway]

I hear you, but I think you have the wrong preception of old cinema. The quality of storytelling is just superior. You really need to watch Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chinatown, etc. They will change your perspective. The 1970s and 1990s might be the two best decades for film, but the 40s-60s has some bangers. There's not a film in the last decade that holds a candle to any of these.

[@saaamember97]

The reason Andy got two life sentences, is because they were treated as separate murders. It's also a way to guarantee that Andy stays in jail, in the event that he is later found innocent of one of the murders. Such as, if they later found out that Andy was innocent of shooting his wife, because it was determined that her lover was the one who shot her, and that Andy shot her lover for killing his wife. Andy would then have to still serve a life sentence for her lover's murder.

[@havok6280]

Not exactly. A "life sentence" is a minimum of 25 years. After that, a convict is eligible for parole. So two life sentences means a minimum of 50 years.

They give people multiple life sentences to ensure they stay in prison even if they would normally get out for parole or if one of the convictions is over turned. For instance if they found out later that Andy only killed his wife and the other guy died some other way. If they lump all the crimes into one sentence then if any part is disproved later he would be let out.

Great reaction like always, this is a masterpiece of cinema, A masterclass in pretty much every category. An incredible script, wonderful direction, gorgeous score and phenomenal performances by Freeman and Robbins. Some fun-facts about this movie, Stephen King sold the rights for $1,000. The baseball throwing scene took 9 hours The scene where Andy and Red are standing and talking outside whilst Red is throwing a baseball back and forth took a staggering nine hours to film. Morgan Freeman threw the ball endlessly the whole time. The following day, when he arrived at work, his arm was in a sling. Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford were considered for Red, and Brad Pitt audition for the role of Tommy but he pulled out of the role because of another movie, later Brad Pitr said he regretted that decision. Red’s mugshot is Morgan Freeman’s son , When you see Morgan Freeman’s papers at one of his parole hearings, there are mugshots of a younger Red attached. These are actually photos of Alfonso Freeman - Morgan’s son. He also had a small part in the movie. He was one of the inmates shouting ‘Fresh fish!’ Stephen King’s novella was titled, ‘Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.’ This was shortened for the film because they didn’t want people to think it was a biopic about Rita Hayworth. This was proven to be true when several actresses applied for the ‘lead role of Rita Hayworth’. Keep up the amazing work.

The movie never explains what Red and Brooks did to land them in prison, but they definitely deserved it: Red is in for a triple homicide: Red planned to murder his wife for the insurance money, so he cut her brakes but that day his wife picked up their neighbor and their neighbor's child to go to the store together, and so all three died in the car crash. Brooks was in prison for a double homicide: he had a losing poker streak, and in a rage he murdered his wife and his own child in cold blood. So while they may have changed in prison, they definitely were not good people before hand.

6:17 Sears and Roebuck, which later became Sears, the once ubiquitous national giant department store chain found at every mall, and now defunct, started as a mail order catalog where you could buy just about anything: clothes, cookware, hardware, machine guns, and even complete kits to build houses. And these fresh convicts largely aren’t supposed to be in their 40s. Times was hard back then, people usually looked older than their actual age. They started smoking cigarettes when they were 10, they usually didn’t have adequate nutrition, if you grew up poor you often had to work laborious jobs outside or in a coal mine shortly after you could walk, and sunscreen really wasn’t a thing. You could have been 20 and looked 45 to a person of today.

Two life sentences ensure that he won't get parole ever.

This is the Greatest Movie Of All Time!

[@levenkay4468]

That might be true if the Lord of The Rings trilogy hadn't been made.

4:15 They give double life sentences so there is no chance for parole later on. Sometimes things can happen later on that may reduce someone's sentence, like good behavior, so they will give them extra time on top of the life sentence to make sure even if some time is taken off his sentence later on he will still be in prison for life. Basically they are padding the years he must serve so there is no chance he can get out later on.

This prison is 45 minutes away from where I live. It's Mansfield penitentiary, in Mansfield Ohio. They give tours and everything. It's also rumored to be haunted. They sell tickets for sleep overs around Halloween.

**SEARS AND ROBUCK ** there used to be a national department store called SEARS. When it started out it was SEARS & ROEBUCK

[@kwadwotuffour5529]

Such a pleasant suprise. Two of my favorite reactors reacting to this classic. My day is much better all of a sudden

[@Jedicake]

Genuinely happy that you guys got a big sponsor! Both of you deserve great success

[@linkloudenback8359]

The reason for the life sentences that way is that if he dies and is revived or was sentenced to death and he was executed but some how survived the execution he could then argue that he technically fulfilled his sentences and try to get released. For example if he was sentenced to serve both life sentences at the same time he died and was revived or he was thought to be dead and wasn’t a doctor mistakenly declared him dead and he awakened he could probably go back to court and argue that he was officially declared dead and has fulfilled his sentences. This is an unlikely situation but in order to avoid such a case the judges will order the sentences to be served back to back.

Fun bit of trivia, Clancy Brown, the actor who plays Captain Hadley, was also the voice of Mr Krabs from SpongeBob

[@MrJholshouser41]

And the preacher in Carvinale (an excellent service that was cut way too soon)

[@campagnollo]

And the Kurgan in Highlander.

[@shanecampbell7423]

And an incredible voice actor. Lex Luthor in the DC animated series and movies, and Surtur in Thor: Ragnarok

[@markaitcheson3212]

Multiple life sentences make perfect sense, if you kill multiple people you deserved to sentenced for each crime no matter if you are alive to serve it, if one of the victims was your relative wouldn't you want them to recieve a sentence for it regardless of what ever else they got? Each victim deserves individual justice, it's that simple, and for example what if one of the cases got turned over later and he gets out, with multiple sentences he's going nowhere.

[@marloncherry1277]

Absolutely one of the best Movies

[@lizmelo5374]

[@pureuncutlakers1010]

Man, late 80s all the way up to the first couple of superhero movies WERE A BEAST.

[@philippelajeunesse9649]

Good Will Hunting is another great 90's movie

[@jerryfick613]

As to multiple life sentences. After serving a certain percentage of a sentence, a prisoner becomes eligible for parole. So by sentencing someone to more than one life sentence, a judge can postpone, or eliminate a convicts opportunity for parole.
