Information about Scott's Factory Prison in Richmond, VA during
the Civil War. |
Opened as a prison in 1862, and apparently was still open in 1864. Details of
this prison are scanty, to say the least, and it may have been one of the
hospital buildings. However, at this time, its exact location is not known.
