Dedicated in 1905, the monument was made by Miller and Clark Granite and Monumental Works of Americus, Georgia. This company was familiar with the prison site as it was only a few miles down the road. The monument rises thirty-five feet above the ground and is surmounted by a dome arcade. The barre granite memorial features two gothic entrances, which allow visitors to enter and admire a bronze relief of prisoners getting water from Providence Springs. Miller and Clark commissioned an artist to create the bronze figure on top. The eight-foot bronze statue represents a prisoner of war in appearance dejected and sad, facing forward and overlooking the cemetery as if looking in sorrow on the graves of the honored dead.
