From the Richmond Whig, 4/15/1865
THE LIBBY PRISON contained yesterday upwards of three thousand Confederate prisoners – military, political and civil, but they are being released as fast as the papers necessary to their conditions of release can be made out.
The Castle is used as a receptacle for prisoners committed upon serious charges and deserters from the Federal service.
