It is the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere,[1][2] and is composed of over 16 million bricks. in July 1865 four special civilian prisoners arrived. These were Dr. Samuel Mudd, Edmund Spangler, Samuel Arnold, and Michael O'Laughlen, who had been convicted of conspiracy in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
