City Workhouse

This penal institution houses young offenders who are judged redeemable to be placed in keeping with the hardened criminals at the Grand Citadel. Perhaps 120 youths and young men, with a score of firm, but not overly brutal guards, live here in the evening.
Every morning at dawn the guards march the prisoners to a different location in the city where they perform mundane tasks of garbage collection, street cleaning and repair, cart hauling, and so on. The prisoners are marched back at sunset.
They get two meals a day, plenty of water, and time off for good behavior. No one is sent a second time to the workhouse after an escape attempt or a second crime; the prison is next, regardless of age. Young women thought to be redeemable are sent to work for the Guild of Clothworkers.
