And I understand the movie Cool Hand Luke was actually filmed in Bakersfield, California rather than the Deep South…
I think there will be two possible outcomes when they begin to interview Sweat. (A) He’ll refuse to cooperate, believing that there’s nothing more they can do to punish him. Taking away his honor block status is a forgone conclusion. I guess solitary confinement is a possible threat the warden could make, but Sweat is a hardened killer, so that may not make a difference to him, and few people stay in solitary confinement forever (I think that perpetual solitary confinement has been ruled cruel and unusual punishment, unless a prisoner is a consistent threat that refuses to conform to prison rules and demeanor). (B) The other possibility, in my opinion, is that they will offer him all kinds of sweets to get him to tell them the logistics of his escape. He’ll never get back on the honor block but they might toss other less conspicuous benefits his way. Then again, he’s the one who killed a police officer in the first place.
