Exchanged Battalion, CSA

Browsing through some names on CWSS I came across a unit called the Exchanged Battalion, CSA. Surfing the web I've learned that it was apparently a Trans-Mississippi organization. I would assume it was sort of a half-way house for exchanged Confederate POWs, but I don't know. Does anyone know the history or purpose of this organization?
