The worst one was Andersonville, Georgia.
Confederate troops, including the prison-guards, were on half-rations, so there wasn't going to be much left over for the Unionprisoners.
It led to gang warfare, murder, even cannibalism - worse than anything seen on a battlefield.

The Federal Government did not treat the Confederate government of its armies as treasonous people following the war. Only the Confederate commander who ran the horrible Anderson-ville prison was tried and executed for war crimes in the prison he ran. Jefferson Davis spent two years in prison and then was released. It would have made little sense to put on trial the numerous Confederate leaders. The nation had a hard enough time to heal. Adding trials and prison terms to the vast number of Southern governors, Confederate officers and top people in the Confederate government would have taken years to complete and would have ruined chances to bring the Union back together again.
