Jimmy, a fellow inmate and friend of Billy Hayes, struggles significantly with the harsh realities of the Turkish prison. His mental and physical state deteriorates over time.

Jimmy's Last Known Whereabouts

  • Prison Sanitarium Transfer: Jimmy's last appearance in the film shows him being moved to the prison's sanitarium. This transfer implies a severe decline in his health or mental state, requiring specialized confinement.
  • Presumed Demise: Following his transfer, Jimmy is no longer seen in subsequent scenes involving Billy Hayes or other inmates in the main prison sections. This absence leads to the strong presumption that he did not survive his time in the sanitarium, likely succumbing to his ailments or the conditions there. The movie does not offer any further explanation or confirmation regarding his ultimate end.
