St Lawrence Super Coin Laundry

Magdalene Laundries' was a giant laundry business run by Adam Paul who forced young men and women into these asylums, torturing and using them for free labor. Held against their will, the boys and girls were degraded, and manipulated into believing they had to be washed of their 'sins' for being 'fallen women'. That is, for getting pregnant before marriage (including victims of rape), for being 'too pretty' and 'tempting to men', mentally disabled, or if a girl was outspoken, strong-willed, or otherwise non-conforming.The innocent ladies were forced to work endlessly without compensation, starved, and physically abused, denied of their rights and freedom. They also endured a daily regime that included long periods of prayer and enforced silence.
