Although the POW camp at Andersonville, Georgia was the cruelest Confederate POW camp by far, Union camps were terrible too. As an aside, the commander of the Andersonville camp was the only person tried for war crimes and was hanged after the war. This is an indication of bad things were in that camp.

Which are worse conditions state prison or federal prison?

state because they are full of shitsh Okay - I didn't write the above comment, but I agree to an extent. The feds have more money overall and their prisons are usually newer/better. State prison depends on the finances of the state (most of whom are broke right now!), so the conditions can be terrible. Also, the feds have a standard they have to conform to. States make their own standards.
