An anecdote for The Condition Of England to show his opinion of the poor laws.

I found an anecdote I think will work to show his opinion but I'm not quite sure that's right here it is " of these successful skillful workers some two millions, it is now counted, sit in workhouses, poor law prisons; or have "outdoor relief" flung over the wall to them the workhouse Bastille being filled to bursting, and the strong poor law broken asunder by a stronger" Could you please tell me if this is an anecdote that show's Carlyle's opinion of the poor laws from the novel.
