Asylum was a great loss for many people. Taking care of those ejected was my job for some years.

Yes. It actually means "a place of safety" not prison. Odd now I think of it,it still means the first when applied in another context. They had farms and gardens and entertainments and kindness. It wasnt The Workhouse.
