Is it the law that all Jails Prisons and Penitentiaries have a Psychiatric Ward?

No. It is not the law that all Jails, Prisons, and Penitentiaries have a Psychiatric Ward. If medical personnel at a prison determine that a particular prisoner needs psychiatric treatment, they send him to a prison with a psychiatric ward. The Federal Prison at Marion, Illinois, has a psychiatric ward for Federal Prisoners. The Federal Prison at Pensacola, Florida does not have a Psychiatric Ward. In fact, it does not have any wards. It has cottages and other free standing buildings. Prisoners are not allowed to cross a 4 foot wide white line painted on the pavement unless they are on a work detail.
