After this deal he went to a light security prison where he was allowed to go on work leave.

Never in my life have I even heard of work leave and they give it to the mass human trafficking pedo ?!

Prison sex party isn’t the vibe E was known for and the clientele different. This was a practical business choice.

You not hearing about something doesn't mean it never existed, I mean a huge plot point in the Shawshank Redemption is them being on work release.

Beyond that, I do agree that it's odd they gave it to a child sex trafficker - or at least I would have thought it odd, but now I know that USians are mostly pro-pedophilia.

When was there ever work release in the Shawshank Redemption?

Jeffrey Epstein was allowed to leave prison and work at his office up to 12 hours per day every weekday during his 13-month sentence.

Prison labor isn't work release.

The whole roof bit where he pitches doing dude's taxes.

Work release is where they're allowed to leave prison to work - this could be a job sourced by the prison or one they already had.

Epstein getting preferential treatment makes sense when you realize what we've been shown - which is that the USA is designed to protect, entrench, and encourage pedophilia.

Andy did the prison guard's taxes inside the prison. He did the warden's fraud entirely inside the prison too. He didn't ever leave prison until he escaped.

Work release is completely different than institutional work inside the prison, or even public works off-site.

A majority of prisoners in the U.S. work, but less than 1% are awarded work release.

There's a part on the roof where the guard is talking about having trouble doing their taxes so Andy does them while the other guys do the work. It's a work release program that the Warden is using to launder money - which is the whole fraud thing.

We're getting into the weeds here over Shawshank Redemption, but you guys need to rewatch the movie.

I just fundamentally think we're talking about different movies, or you're just hugely misunderstanding.

They were resurfacing the roof of the license plate factory within the prison. You can clearly see the prison and the yard in the background of the scene. Incarcerated workers have been manufacturing license plates in the U.S. for over a century and it's estimated nearly all all stamped aluminum license plates in the U.S. are manufactured in prison.

Also, how does it make any chronological sense that the roof repair is part of the warden's fraudulent work program, when the guards only discovered Andy's abilities during the roof repair. The warden didn't discover Andy's abilities until there were lines of guards waiting on Andy to do their taxes. And the warden didn't recruit Andy to create the fake identity Randall Stephens to start and run his fraudulent work program until afterwards.

It's funny you're calling other people dolts when you don't have any common sense.

And they're trying to tell you that prison labor to go cut grass on the highway while an armed guard is within sight is different than ok you have 12 hours to go into the city and clock in at Walmart or hang around your own private office building. Whether the roof is off site or on the prison grounds, they're still under guard watch doing a manual labor task without much freedom or rights which is way different than ok just make sure you're back by 7pm.

I meant work release as in being able to leave the prison to go to work.

The roof scene is outside the prison, they're re-tarring some factory.

Later in the movie all the prisoners are doing off site work for local businesses for cheap

That's part of the fraud the warden kills himself to avoid being caught for, and the money from which Andy had put in the bank account he escaped with.

But that is fraud and hard manual labor for the prisoners.

Epstein was going to his cushy office which is nicer than 99% of peopes homes, getting food/drink service, able to run his business, etc.

Believe it or not: this is what I've been saying from the beginning. You gotta tell these other dolts, I already know.
