Parole Camps

Hey my last message I posted did not bring much info in and I was wanting to know if any one knows anything about parole camps that Gen. Forrest might of been in chatge of. I've read almost all of the packets that we recieved from the National Archives and all that I can find is that he (a distant cousin 'civil war soldier') was taken to rome. My grandma claims to me that it is Rome, Georgia but i can not find any thing to say that there was a prison camp there not meaning that there wasn't but i think it would of have to been just a small place that they were kept. If you have any known resources please email me at pappy535@netscape.net

Thank You,
