The Victorian Workhouse

Victorian workhouse were where poor people who had no job and home lived. In order to live in the workhouse, these poor people had too work in the workhouse. Also there were orphaned and children that were abandoned by their parents. The people in the work houses were mentally or physically sick. I think that the idea of a workhouse is actually good. Because the workhouse provided the poor people a home to live, a place to work and earn money with free medical care and free education for children. I also don't think that Scrooge understand what it would be like for people to be live in a workhouse. No one would want to live in a workhouse if one's has the ability of taking care of himself. The workhouse was for people who has difficulties in living, which most rich people can't imagine.
