Conclusion
Under the Ancien Régime, prostitution was punishable by the courts and, in Marseille, from 1652, prostitutes were locked up in the Refuge located under the Mills. This "Charity" officially named "Saint-Joseph Hospital" was popularly called "the galley women "because of the extreme severity that prevailed there. But it was also "a house of force", "a kind of jail", "a house of correction" in the letters of seal, "a prison", "a house of imprisonment for public women", " a reclusion hospice "under the Revolution," a hospice for prostitutes "and" Saint-Joseph hospital for vénériennes "under the pen of the police commissioners of the Restoration.
This attempt to eradicate prostitution is abundantly documented in the judicial records. How did the system set up by the absolute monarchy work? How did the procedure go? What were and what were the convictions? How did the system end up in an attempt to regulate prostitution by opening brothels?
