I know most of us here love this undeniable cinematic classic. I mean it'd be difficult to imagine someone not wanting to see the story of Andy Dufresne. Well now, you can not only watch this great film, you can visit the prison.

Described as a "massive stone structure," the building boasts walls that are 6 feet thick at their base, 25 feet tall and 250 yards long. So once the former boys reformatory turned maximum security prison was closed in 1990 after 94 years of service, it was a dizzying matter to tear it down. Instead, the Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society purchased the building for $1 with the agreement they'd maintain and improve the structure by opening it up to tourism. Its eerie interiors lent themselves to hosting ghost hunts, Halloween festivities, and murder mystery dinners. But the Shawshank Redemption tours have brought in an estimated $10 million dollars to Mansfield, just last year.

Yeah, you guys go and I'll hang back with Roxie and play cards.

That was always more fun than the real field trips in high school anyway.

Don't care about the movie but exploring a prison sounds fun. Guess I'm in.

Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

And now you can too, with a season pass for only 29.95!

I can neither confirm nor deny this.

[Mister Pigwell]

New headquarters.

[Michael Coello]

If it means my every move is narrated by Morgan Freeman, I'll be down for that.

[Hugh Mungus]

FYI: Tom Hanks turned down playing Andy Dufresne, due to a schedule conflict with Forrest Gump, John Travolta turned down Forrest Gump to appear in Pulp Fiction, and Michael Madsen turned down Pulp Fiction to appear in Wyatt Earp.

I already know how to bust out, so that'd be f***ing stupid.

I wish I could tell you that FAN fought the good fight, and the mods let him be. But forums are no fairy tale.

[Crimson]

Will the employees chant "Fresh Bitch" as you enter the prison?

[Sephiroth]

Do they still have the books by Andre Dumbass?
