    This week's episode discusses the history of Magdalen Asylums (also called Magdalen Laundries) in England and Ireland. Focus lies primarily on the history of these laundries in Ireland. Find out how and why these asylums started, how many there were of them in England and Ireland, and what finally brought them to a close.

    My primary source for this episode is the book Do Penance or Perish by Frances Finnegan, an article by the Justice for Magdalenes Research, and various other online sources. All sources will be listed at the end of the episode transcript.
