The Congress has established the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, at Springfield, Missouri, as the institution in which those arrested for federal offenses, as well as others, may be confined and treated when they are found to be mentally defective. Said institution is not a ‘federal prison’ within the scheme of federal penal institutions but is a hospital established by the Congress for treatment of persons found to have committed fed eral offenses. Rosheisen v. Steele, Warden, 8 Cir., 193 F.2d 273 .””
