Corrected entry: A single bar of prison-issued soap and a pool of cold, sewage-contaminated water would never be enough to wash the stench that Andy would have acquired from worming through all that waste.

Correction: Andy could have found an area of cleaner water (say a puddle, small pond, or other ditch) to do a basic cleaning before fully cleaning elsewhere, like a cheap motel.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Corrected entry: Andy arrives in Shawshank in 1949, which is stated in the beginning. He escapes in 1966, making it 17 years. But when he collects the money, Red says that he took the money as service pay for 19 years of work, a two year difference.
Correction: Andy arrived in 1947, not 1949.
Correction: No, Red says that Andy came to him in 1949 regarding the Rita Hayworth poster, not that he arrived at Shawshank in 1949.
Correction: All Andy really has to do is go upstream to where the water is clean. I guess you must have also forgotten that has been raining.
