Anyone that owed a debt and could not pay it. If a creditor was not convinced his debtor was able to pay fast enough he would order the debtor taken to a workhouse to pay off the debt with labor. Few debtors succeded and were released, especially as their other creditors found they were in the workhouse and made additional claims.
Laundry work, picking oakum, making mailbags - any laborious, repetitive and sometimes dangerous work that needed to be done by half-starved, homeless people for whom the workhouse was the last hope for survival.
I believe people could leave workhouses.

The poor Victorians would live on the streets, but if they were found by the bobby's (police) they would get taken to the workhouse where they would have a cruel life, they would try to escape but if they got found escaping they would be put into a shed where everyone can see them. Trapped Forever. This is not entirely true, workhouses were cruel often, but a better alternative than living on the streets. It was mostly families that went into workhouses
