False.
Prisoners of war in the American Civil War were often held in overcrowded, unsanitary camps with inadequate shelter, food, medicine, and medical care. Conditions at camps such as Andersonville (Confederate) and Elmira (Union) led to very high sickness and death rates. While there were periods of prisoner exchange and better treatment for some officers, overall treatment was harsh and deadly for many.
