Florida man sentenced to hospital, prison for Jewish center bomb plot
[IsraelTimes] A Florida man will be hospitalized for psychiatric treatment and likely serve 25 years in prison for plotting to bomb a synagogue and Jewish school center during Passover last year.
Nowadays the only locked wards for psychiatric treatment to be found are in prisons.
A Miami federal judge imposes that sentence on 41-year-old James Medina,
...James Gonzalo Medina in full. But he liked to call himself James Mohammed, and he claimed to be a convert to Islam...
who pleaded guilty to a religious hate crime and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. The maximum sentence is life in prison.

Authorities say Medina planned to attack the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center. Medina was placed in durance vile
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
in April 2016 after approaching the center with a fake bomb provided by an undercover FBI informant.

FBI recordings showed Medina supported the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group and claimed an obligation to attack Jews in the US.

His lawyers say Medina suffers from significant mental health problems.
