In the film "The Shawshank Redemption", what is Andy Dufresne's first work assignment when he gets to prison?

In the film "The Shawshank Redemption", Andy Dufresne's first work assignment during the first two years of his incarceration is in the prison laundry, when he isn't fighting off "the Sisters", a prison gang and their leader, Bogs Diamond who have raped Andy frequently.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is a 1994 American prison drama film. It was written and directed by Frank Darabont; it was based on the 1982 Stephen King novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption". The film explicitly tells the story of banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins). He has been sentenced to life in Shawshank State Penitentiary for the murders of his wife and her lover, despite his claims of innocence.

Over the course of two decades at the prison, Andy befriends a fellow prisoner, contraband smuggler Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman). Andy will also become instrumental in a money laundering operation led by the prison warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton). Those appearing in astute supporting roles include William Sadler, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows, and James Whitmore.

Ultimately, although Andy (Robbins) has been sent to prison for a crime he did not commit, he overcomes in the end by never losing hope.
