Nice delve into a different aspect of the war's society. I usually attribute bad camps to the losing side of a war having less resources. The touch on that both sides weren't prepared, and why would they be, for large scale prisoners was interesting. One could imagine an engineering officer could plan or run a camp better but that same skill set is what is needed for forts, depots and other toward the fighting postings.
