WELCOME TO THE GREY BAR HOTEL, MR. BESCOE (Or Should I Just Call You 524899?)

In “The Shawshank Redemption”, new prisoners arriving at Shawshank are greeted by convicts “going fishing”, taunting the new prisoners and making bets on who will break down crying first.

Jason Bescoe officially entered the Michigan Department of Corrections on Friday, June 21 to serve his time. In October 2018, Bescoe copped a plea, admitting to stealing nearly $3.0 million from several Flint-area elderly couples.

“The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell, when those bars slam home, that's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it. Most new fish come close to madness the first night. Somebody always breaks down crying. Happens every time.”
