there are regular prisons that have small hospitals in them - because prisoners get sick, too.  sometime deathly ill.

there used to be a different type of prison - really for crazy people - that type usually had a name something like "institution for the criminally insane"

Answer 2

Many prisons have what is called "infirmaries". I supose they might be called hospitals in some states. Inmates who need more frequent care and.or observation are placed there.

It is somewhat like a hospital unit/ward. Critically ill patients are usually not kept there, but sent to a local hospital {with shackles and a guard).

Infirmaries are also utilized when an inmate is terminal - as in cancer and/or AIDS.
