Andrew Dufresne is the name of the main character in the Shawshank Redemption. In the film he was convicted of killing his wife and her lover but was later acquitted after the real killer named Elmo Blatch was found to have committed the crime.
In "The Shawshank Redemption," Red refers to rehabilitation as a "politician's word" because he believes it is often used insincerely and lacks real meaning within the prison system. He feels that the concept is a facade used by authorities to give the illusion of reform while the reality is that many inmates, including himself, are not genuinely rehabilitated. This skepticism reflects the broader critique of the penal system and its failure to facilitate true change in individuals. Red’s experience in prison has shaped his cynical view that rehabilitation is more about appearances than actual transformation.
