Deleted Scenes
Although the film feels full, a few moments that gave a little more depth to the plot were deleted. One of these was the inmates discovering Brooks’ pet crow dead in a field and burying it properly after Brooks was released. In another scene, Tommy’s wife pays him a visit, encouraging him to change his ways and focus on getting his GED. Finally, Red suffers a panic episode in a grocery store and runs to the bathroom because it reminds him of his jail in another deleted scene. This makes his visit to the tree and rock wall all the more meaningful because it is the polar opposite of what Brooks chose to do.
