There are hundreds, (thousands) in US corrections (I use the term loosely) institutions because there is no care or responsibility taken for people with mental disability accept in the most extraordinary/ extreme cases. And that determination of mental liability is a State by State decision.

Not so. He is accused and prosecuted under federal statute(s), by federal prosecutors. If he goes to prison, it will be under a sentence by a US District Court, in a federal prison. The federal prison system has first rate medical/psychological facilities, and any determination is a federal one, not a state decision.
