Behind the stone walls of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries, holiness was weaponized and women were scrubbed into silence.
From steam-filled rooms to unmarked graves, this episode unearths how faith turned to a factory, how a nation built its purity on the backs of its daughters. Between 1922 and 1996, thousands of women and girls were imprisoned in these institutions, working without pay beneath the guise of moral reform.
Decades later, the echoes still reach Parliament floors and classroom doors, a reckoning whispered through rosaries and records.
Sanctity can hide a multitude of sins, especially when those sins are laundered in holy water.
Trigger Warning: Mentions of institutional abuse, forced labor, and trauma.
