Scrooge believes that the poor should be sent to workhouses or prisons.

“Are there no prisons?” asked Scrooge.
“Plenty of prisons,” said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.
“And the Union workhouses?” demanded Scrooge. “Are they still in operation?”
“They are. Still,” returned the gentleman, “I wish I could say they were not.”
“The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?” said Scrooge.
“Both very busy, sir.”
“Oh! I was afraid, from what you said at first, that something had occurred to stop them in their useful course,” said Scrooge. “I’m very glad to hear it.”

A Christmas Carol

I am sorry if i am wrong i read the playscript a year ago but i am pretty sure he said a warehouse, because food for the poor is provided there and christmas is also celebrated and the other people arent bothered because of the poor. Thats what Scrooge thinked.

it is prisons you are right.
