Southwell Workhouse 1850-1859: Book 2

By Alana Sanchez

By the 1850s, the workhouse no longer proves itself. The experiment is over. The system continues.

This second volume traces a decade inside Southwell Workhouse where hardship becomes routine and "proper management" becomes a language of control. Through dietaries that regulate hunger, classifications that decide fate, labour imposed as a test, punishment administered as procedure, and medical care weighed against cost, the workhouse is shown not as a moment of crisis, but as an institution made ordinary.

Ordinary rules. Hard realities. Last resort.
