The Scandal, is the warden using the prisoners for free labor in the inside out program pocketing money left and right. Andy knowing the in's and outs does all the paperwork, making up a fake name with a social security number, drivers license, birth certificate, and sending all the pocketed money to a separate bank account to filter out the dirty money and make it clean again. Little does the warden know, Andy had his own plans for the money, especially after the warden killed off the only hopes he had reopening his case and getting out of prison. Andy being locked up for nearly 20 years, uses his rock hammer throughout his sentence to dig a way out taking with him all the paper trails and making one of his last stops to the bank to pick up "Randy Stevens" money. Last stop Mexico!
