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?

    But there are lots of places that people would like to visit. It’s not like they post libraries, or other government run facilities on freeways. Is there a policy that requires these types of facilities be displayed on the freeway exit sign? I tried to google it without finding the answer I was looking for.
