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.
