	Magdalen Asylum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Magdalen Asylums were institutions for so-called "fallen" women, most of them operated by different orders of the Roman Catholic Church.
		Magdalen Asylums grew out of the rescue movement in Britain and Ireland in the 19th century, which had as its formal goal the rehabilitation of women who had worked as prostitutes.
		As the Magdalen movement became increasingly distant from the original ideas of the Rescue Movement, that is, to take prostitutes off the streets who would not find regular employment because of their background, the Asylums took on an increasingly prison-like character.

		Drawing primarily on the records of the Good Shepherd Sisters, who operated four magdalen asylums in Ireland, Finnegan explores the impulses that guided the founding of each of the asylums, the transformation in the function of the asylums from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, and the place of the asylum in Irish society.
		The third asylum, opened in New Ross, Co. Wexford, in 1860, was the least successful of the three asylums, because of its proximity to the Waterford asylum and because of a lack of support for it within the community.
		She insists that women who were admitted to magdalen asylums in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were victims of "indifference" and "injustice".

		It's a Magdalen Asylum, one of the homes built by the Catholic Church (mostly in Ireland, although until 1932 there was one where San Francisco General Hospital now stands) to shelter and succor members of "this most wronged and helpless class of God's creatures": the Fallen Woman.
		Originally the Magdalen Asylums were inhabited by prostitutes trying to find another form of employment; they were free to leave as they chose, and permitted to keep part of their wages from work done within the institution (usually laundry).
		According to various accounts from former "Magdalens," the nuns came to realize over the next 150 years (shockingly, the last Magdalen Asylum closed just eight years ago) just how lucrative having a virtual slave population could be.
