Jake with Andy

Jake was a black crow bird owned by Brooks Hatlen.

Character Biography

Brooks, the Shawshank prison librarian, found Jake outside the plate shop with an injured wing. So, he took the crow in and nursed it back to health, naming him "Jake" and keeping it as a pet, feeding him worms he finds in the prison food. When Brooks was paroled and got out of jail, he knew that he had to free Jake, probably his closest friend, and did so with great hesitation and pain. After Brooks tells about how much he miss him and sometimes think of him as being one of the birds he sees out there.
