How many confederate prisoners of war were there during the civil war?

Answer 1

Thousands. One place built by the confederacy held 10thousand prisoners at once. Multiple union forts each held on average about 100 prisoners. Same for the confederates. If I was to pick a square number, it would be around 150,000.
