Before he died, he shifted part of his energy to Tom Hanks, which led to Tom Hanks's long life. He watched the people around him leave him one by one. The only one who has been with him is the juggling mouse in the prison. The mouse was saved by John once in prison, so it also has some abilities in its body. And lived for a long time.
After Black John died, other prison guards later resigned and stopped being prison guards, and the abnormal one in it ended up in a mental hospital.
The final outcome was unexpected. Black John volunteered to sit in the electric chair. He saw through the pain of too many people in the world and couldn't bear to witness that heartless heart again. At the moment when this seemingly rude man was about to die, the people in the "Green Lane" made an important leap in life in different forms, but they couldn't bear to take away all their abilities and passed part of their energy on to Tom.

They are full of hostility and disdain, but the arrival of the mysterious john kofi (michael clarke duncan) changes everything. John kofi was sentenced to death for murder, and came to E District on an ordinary day. He looks terrible and has a huge body, but he is surprisingly peaceful, sensitive and silent. He even looks like a child when he is naive. At the same time, he seems to have an indescribable mysterious power, which makes people trust him involuntarily, which makes Ezekiel deeply doubt whether his crime is true or not. Finally, after Paul helped himself through Coffey, he found that Coffey was actually an archangel sent by God to save the folk soul, and he suffered from generation to generation!
But truth can't replace law. Although john kofi cured Paul and saved the dying Melinda, he finally passed the "green passage". At this moment when the seemingly rude person is about to die, people in the "Green Passage" have achieved an important leap in life in different forms.
