Fort Delaware Union Prison on Pea Patch Island

Caught a show the other night on the SciFi Channel about hunting for signs of the supernatural at Fort Delaware Union Prison on Pea Patch Island in Delaware City, DE. They stated on the show that 33,000 prisoners were housed on the island during TWBTS. Any idea of how many of these were poor souls were from Kentucky? I have seen many posts about Kentucky soldiers in Union prisons in Illinois. There was also another Union prison in Point Lookout, MD. I was just wondering if anyone knew how many Kentuckians were held in eastern, Union prisons during the war?
