In a workhouse, men typically engaged in various forms of labor to earn their keep, which often included tasks like agricultural work, manufacturing, or performing maintenance duties. They were provided with basic accommodations and meals in exchange for their labor. The work was usually hard and monotonous, reflecting the difficult conditions of poverty that led them to seek refuge in the workhouse. Many men also participated in communal activities to foster a sense of community among the residents.
