In Victorian times if you did not have a job you had to work at the workhouse, were the women did domestic jobs such as cleaning and the men broke stones. The workhouse was cruel place and the last place you would of wanted to go. You had to eat there and you only got potatoes and bread for the whole day.
They were filthy and brutal. Children were admonished and beaten for mistakes or slowness. They were fed gruel. Many of them were orphans or the abandoned. Poverty made these children slaves.

Victorian prisons were typically overcrowded and unsanitary, with harsh conditions and strict discipline. Workhouses were institutions where the poor and homeless were housed in exchange for hard labor, often under oppressive conditions and separation of families. Both institutions aimed to deter crime and alleviate poverty, but were criticized for their harsh treatment of inmates and residents.
