Like most (but not all) Union POW camps, Camp Douglas was first a training center for Union regiments.As the war progressed, a number of training camps had prison compounds added.
For general information on POW camps of both sides, the web site:http://www2.netdoor.com/~52rcourt/civilw.htmhttp://www2.netdoor.com/~52rcourt/civilw.htm
is often useful.They have links to information on a large number of POW camps of both sides.The quality and quantity of information varies from site to site, and I don't know for certain they have anything on Camp Douglas, but its worth a quick look.
