In traditional workhouses, particularly those from the 19th and early 20th centuries, talking among inmates was often discouraged or strictly regulated to maintain discipline and silence. Workers were typically expected to focus on their tasks without engaging in conversation, as it was believed that talking could lead to distractions and unrest. However, specific rules could vary by institution and time period.
