The poor Victorians would live on the streets, but if they were found by the bobby's (police) they would get taken to the workhouse where they would have a cruel life, they would try to escape but if they got found escaping they would be put into a shed where everyone can see them. Trapped Forever. This is not entirely true, workhouses were cruel often, but a better alternative than living on the streets. It was mostly families that went into workhouses
The people were treated poorly at workhouses.
In 19th-century England, workhouses were primarily managed by local boards of guardians, which were elected by ratepayers in the parish or union. These boards were responsible for overseeing the administration of the workhouse, including the treatment of inmates and the allocation of resources. The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 significantly reformed the system, emphasizing the need for workhouses to be less hospitable to deter reliance on public assistance. Consequently, the governance of workhouses often reflected a harsh approach to poverty and welfare.
Synonyms for union workhouses is Shelter, homeless ect.
Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons? And the treadmill is that still employed.
