The house of correction was a place where you were put to very hard work as a kind of punishment, but also it was supposed to mean that you you learn the value of working. You'd be pushing a wooden beam around in a circle, probably something like that to turn the work piece of the mill. No, it was more of a big kind of tube and you stood in horizontal tube. And you stood in the tube and you walked it and it went round and round. The spindle would turn the thing that matched the corn or the oats into corn. I wonder what happened to the notorious window smasher in the end. She got rehabilitated.
