Mandated by the Irish state beginning in the eighteenth century, they were operated by various orders of the Catholic Church until the last laundry closed in 1996. A few years earlier, in 1993, an order of nuns in Dublin sold part of their Magdalen convent to a real estate developer. The remains of 155 inmates, buried in unmarked graves on the property, were exhumed, cremated, and buried elsewhere in a mass grave. This triggered a public scandal in Ireland and since then the Magdalen laundries have become an important issue in Irish culture, especially with the 2002 release of the film "The Magdalene Sisters.". 606 $aWomen$xInstitutional care$zIreland$xHistory 606 $aProstitutes$xRehabilitation$zIreland$xHistory 606 $aChurch work with prostitutes$xCatholic Church 606 $aUnmarried mothers$xInstitutional care$zIreland$xHistory 606 $aReformatories for women$zIreland$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xInstitutional care$xHistory. 615 0$aProstitutes$xRehabilitation$xHistory. 615 0$aChurch work with prostitutes$xCatholic Church. 615 0$aUnmarried mothers$xInstitutional care$xHistory. 615 0$aReformatories for women$xHistory. 676 $a362.83/9 700 $aSmith$b James M.$f1966-$01725099 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822198703321 996 $aIreland's Magdalen Laundries and the Nation's Architecture of Containment$94127735 997 $aUNINA
