<<Belle Isle was a Confederate prison for enlisted men, the way that Libby
Prison was a prison for officers (with exceptions)>>

David:

I was under the impression, but can't remember where I read this - so I could be wrong - that Libby was used for officers and non-officers when prisoners were still being exchanged.  However that changed after there was no longer prisoner exchanges.  Was that when Belle Isle came to be a prison for enlisted men?
