The Workhouse treadmill was a form of punitive labor used in 19th-century British workhouses, where inmates were made to walk on a large revolving wheel for hours. This device was intended to punish the poor and deter them from seeking public assistance by making workhouse life uncomfortable and arduous. The treadmill produced minimal energy output, mainly serving as a means of discipline rather than productive work. It symbolized the harsh treatment of the impoverished during the era of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834.

The term "inmate" was used to describe individuals residing in the workhouse, while "pauper" referred to their impoverished status. These terms were commonly used during the time when workhouses were prevalent in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
