Remember the judge's sentence?
:22:03
"And kept in solitary confinement
until you are hanged by the neck."

:22:06
But that ain't what the judge meant.
:22:08
That's what the attorney general
says he meant.

:22:17
Look around you, Stroud.
:22:19
This is going to be your home
for as long as you live.

:22:26
Ain't much more
you can do to me, is there?

:22:29
A few things.
:22:32
Consider this. You will not be permitted
to associate with the other prisoners,

:22:36
not even to exercise with them.
:22:38
You'll eat all your meals alone
for the rest of your life.

:22:42
Visiting and corresponding privileges
will be limited to your immediate family.

:22:46
And there'll be no work. Nothing to do
but count the hours and days and years.

:22:53
They're tearin' down my gallows.
:22:56
- To my great regret.
- Yeah.

:22:58
It must have galled you
to give that order, Harv.

:23:01
I think I got you figured out, Shoemaker.
:23:03
First day here you as much as asked me
to get down on my knees and whimper.

:23:07
I wouldn't do it then and I won't do it now.
:23:10
I won't lick your hand
and that's what eats you, keeper.

:23:13
You keep this in mind.
A man ain't whipped until he quits.

:23:16
And I'll never give you that pleasure.
:23:23
Now get outta here.
:23:26
I'll never forget you as long as I live.
:23:30
No matter what happens to me,
no matter where I am,

:23:33
if I ever get a chance
to punish you further, I'll do it.

:23:38
Drop in from time to time.
See how long I stick around.

:23:40
I don't have to drop in on you.
I'll always know where you are.

:23:51
Being in solitary
is like being on rails.

:23:55
A man pushes your food
through the door.

:23:59
You eat alone.
