Where was the worst confederate prison camp during civil war?

The worst Confederate prison camp was arguably Andersonville, located near Andersonville, Georgia. It operated from February 24, 1864, to April 27, 1865, during the American Civil War, and held an estimated 45,000 Union soldiers, of whom over 13,000 died from disease, malnutrition, overcrowding, and neglect. The camp was notorious for its harsh conditions and lack of basic sanitation, leading to widespread disease outbreaks.
