Hi Erin,

You may have problems getting information about the Magdelene Laundry. I've been having a look at the CBS site which has an article titled "The Magdalene Laundry - A Life of Servitude Behind Convent Walls."
It says that no one knows how many women were sent off to the laundries. The religious orders refuse
to make those records available, but estimates range into tens of thousands.
