Workhouses were abolished because they were seen as inhumane institutions that perpetuated poverty rather than alleviating it. They often subjected inmates to harsh conditions and were considered outdated in terms of providing meaningful support to those in need. As welfare systems developed and societal attitudes changed, workhouses were gradually phased out in favor of more compassionate and effective forms of social support.
