I think that was clear in the movie as well.

I know the novella much better than the movie, so I wasn’t sure about the movie.

It wasn't directly stated in the movie but at one point the warden refers to Andy's cell as a 1 bunk Hilton as well as some of the other special treatment he got.

King says it’s a novella. The book is Different Seasons. The novella wasn’t published on its own until about two decades after Different Seasons.
