Jake was a black crow owned by Brooks Hatlen.

Character Biography[]

Brooks, the Shawshank Prison librarian, found Jake as a chick that fell out of his nest outside the plate shop and had injured his wing. He took the crow in and nursed it back to health, naming him "Jake" and keeping him as a pet, feeding him maggots he finds in the prison food. When Brooks was granted parole and his release from prison was imminent, he knew that he had to free Jake; his closest friend, and did so with great hesitation and pain. Afterwards, Brooks writes about how much he misses him and sometimes hoping he'll appear with the birds he sees in the park.

Following Brooks' parole, he frequently goes to the park in his leisure time to feed the birds, hoping to find Jake; to no avail.

In the film, following Brooks' releasing Jake, he flies off and is never seen again.

Jake was named after the actor James Whitmore’s grandson, Jacob Whitmore.

He was incredible, An ace with a ball. Jake immediately grew attracted to him. He began to partake in casual sex sessions with Brooks, always drawing him to fulfilment.
