I believe in two things: discipline and The Bible. Here you'll receive both. Put your trust in The Lord. Your ass belongs to me. Welcome to Shawshank.

–Warden Samuel Norton, 1947

Samuel Norton was an American prison warden and money launderer who served as the warden of Shawshank State Prison. Norton took part in a vast kickback scheme with the help of Andy Dufresne, a convicted murderer and inmate of Shawshank coerced into assisting with Norton's plots.

Personality[]

Norton was unscrupulous, and corrupt, and ruthless with his foes, and especially the inmates of Shawshank Prison. In contrast to all of this, he was almost always a devout Christian, prone to quoting Bible verses and holding the standards of his inmates to that of the Old Testament.
