Inmates were subjected to harsh conditions, meager rations, and backbreaking labor, creating a desperate desire to flee. However, the workhouse system was designed to prevent escape, with high walls, locked doors, and vigilant guards patrolling the premises. Attempts to escape often resulted in swift and severe punishment, further deterring any thoughts of liberation. Despite the formidable challenges, some individuals managed to break free, employing cunning tactics and relying on sheer determination to reclaim their freedom. Their stories serve as testaments to the indomitable human spirit, capable of overcoming even the most oppressive circumstances.
