| Erin standing in the Library from Shawshank. The prison was shut down in 1989 and the movie filmed in the early 1990's. Moisture and lack of maintenence has caused the paint to peel off the walls as you can see here and in many other pictures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The half-way house that Brooks and Red were sent to following their release in the movie was actually a room inside the warden's quarters of the prison. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
