	Camp Chase (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The camp's state volunteers and the camp commander were found to have "scant acquaintance" with military practice and were transferred, the camp passing into Federal government control.
		Prisoners were allowed limited amounts of money to supplement supplies with purchases from approved vendors and sutlers, the latter further restricted when they were discovered to be smuggling liquor to the inmates.
		Some parolees, assigned to guard duty at Federal prison camps, were bitter, and rumors increased of maltreatment of prisoners at Camp Chase and elsewhere.

	Camp Douglas
		Prisoners from Fort Donelson arrived at Camp Douglas in February, 1862, and within one year the monthly mortality rate was at ten percent, a rate unsurpassed by any other prison in the North or South.
		Three traits distinguished Camp Douglas from other Northern prison camps: high mortality rates, extreme acts of cruelty, and a low official count of prisoners who died compared to documentation from other sources Historical articles and research texts have publicized these facts, but somehow Camp Douglas has escaped the notoriety of Andersonville.
		A prisoner swore that when the men who were being punished this way attempted to sit on their coattails they were cruelly kicked in the back by the guards and forced to sit longer on their bare bones.

	Bush’s prison camp
		In Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, Camp X-Ray, later replaced by Camp Delta, is where the Bush administration has sent foreign soldiers captured in the "war on terror." It was supposed to house the worst of the worst--hardened terrorists and al-Qaeda operatives.
		Prisoners who the military deems "uncooperative" are allowed exercise and a shower just twice a week--despite the fact that temperatures in the cells can reach more than 100 degrees.
		While the conditions at Camp Delta are brutal enough, even more horrible is the desperation felt by detainees who have no rights at all--whether to lawyers, to a trial, or even to contact their families.

		When the greatest number of prisoners were confined in the camp, and popular apprehension, ignorant of what that was in reality, more than tripled it, there were frequent disturbing rumors that the enemy were again approaching and for the purpose of liberating the prisoners and adding them to their own forces.
		The occupations of the prisoners during their confinement were as various as were the tastes of the men themselves, and such as they themselves chose, their only duty daily attendance upon morning and evening roll-call with here and there willing ones detailed to bake or cook or care for the grounds.
		The plentiful supply for the prison camp is further testified to by the fact that there were large savings from the rations allowed by the government after the prisoners had had all they needed.
