Red think that Dufresne is different from other people at here. One day, Dufresne ask Red to give a rock hammer for carving rock. Red says OK, but he thinks it is found soon. A few days later, rock hammer is sent.

When he cleans roof of prison, one of prison guard complains about inheritance. His name is Byron Hadley acted by Clancy Brown. Then, Dufrese advises him what to do. So this prison guard likes Dufresne and other guards too. The head of shawshank prison hear this rumor and he thinks Dufresne can manage money. But this money is tax evasion and he knows tihs.

He asks Red to give poster to stick his room. Prison guard doesn't remove this poster, because Dufresne is very trusted. He enrered Shawshank prison in1966. He had dug his room wall since he got rock hammer. He hid it in the Bible and finally he escapes from Shawshank prison. After escape, he gose bank and withdraw 370,000 dollars.
