You bet they did.
At first, there were regular exchanges of prisoners. But when Grant became General-in-Chief of the Union armies, he ended this system, knowing that he was in a better position to replace his battle-losses than the Confederates were.
This naturally caused overcrowding in the camps, and the Northern troops interned at Andersonville, Georgia, faced unspeakable privations, causing them to split into murderous gangs as they slowly starved. (The commandant of that camp was later hanged.)
The war ended when the Confederates literally ran out of manpower. Lee's battle-lines had worn too thin, and eventually they couldn't hold.
