I drive on I-5 in California, and the exit signs posts if there is a jail, state mental hospital, prison, detention center at that particular off ramp. Is there a policy where this is required? Why are incarceration centers posted on freeway exits?

edit: Can you please cite a policy that requires these detention centers to be posted? Is it a federal policy or a California State policy?

    yup, lot of these prisons are placed in the middle of fucking nowhere as a form of economic kickback essentially.

    local economy is non-existent so throw down a prison and bam, you got a bunch of cheap stupid employees and free slave labor for the local barons that run the county.
