I don't know much about the Magdalene asylums so I'm a bit wary of them, just like old peoples homes as you don't know what goes on behind closed doors, I'm sure there are good things to come out of them but its the bad ones that drag the rest down.
I also regret missing out on education and its all my own fault,I had teachers there willing to educate me on the way of the world and I preferred running amok with my mates in town,I love history and stuff now,can't keep me off the History/Discovery channels

There was nothing good about Magdalene asylums, if you got pregnant out of wedlock you could have ended up in one,apart from you being labeled a prosititute it was harsher than being in prison,terrible,terrible places and in the name of God as well,its astounding that they was around so late as 96 as I always thought that they went the same way as the old workhouses

Thanks for your work in keeping me educated,always interesting
