Close The Workhouse Speech was eloquently done by a 21 year old gentleman from East St. Louis, Thursday, June 18th in the middle of Hall Street.
CLOSE THE WORKHOUSE in St. Louis has become a popular phrase and an ongoing endeavor with ExpectUs and other protesters.
The Workhouse is inhumane and cost millions to keep running which comes out of our taxes. This Jail is a waste of money, money that could be allocated to city schools, infrastructure, job training and the like.
