From the Richmond Dispatch, 3/27/1862
C. S. Military Prison. – The Yankee prisoners at present sojourning
here, some 500 in number, were yesterday transferred from the factories on Main
street, so long occupied by them, to Libby & Son’s warehouses, on Cary
street, below 20th, near the Dock, a locality secluded from
observation, and where only half the former number of men need be retained for
guard duty to ensure the safety of the prisoners, the building being all
connected together.
