Civil War Prison Camps were the most excruciating prison camps around. The people there were often not fed and weren't cared for like any of the other humans. They were killed off daily if not already killed from starvation or disease. The line that lay three feet from the fence that separated them from freedom was a death trap. One person just so much as lay foot on that treacherous line and they were killed instantly by a guard. Many deaths were caused because of these prison camps. Some people believe that they are haunted by the spirits of the dead prisoners. Prison camps were very crowded, this resulted in multiple camps and overcrowding Its estimated that 56,000 men had perished in the horrible civil war prison camps.These deaths were caused by lack of

=== Prison Camps: ===

Union-
This camp was open in 1833 and was the first prison camp in Illinois. It had a thirty foot tall stone wall and 24 cells that were overcrowded. Each cell was four feet wide and seven feet four inches wide. It is said that each cell help three men. After three years they had captured almost twelve thousand people. Many men were killed by starvation or suffering. The camp was closed in 1860. These prisoners were treated in my opinion the worst. They werent fed barley anything if anything at all. These people were were cruel and demeaning to the poor prisoner. Some prisoner complaints were found that say that they were put in an oven to boil their blood.
