Background
The Toronto East Detention Centre, often simply referred to as The East, or TEDC, is a maximum-security Detention Centre located in the district of Scarborough in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for adult male offenders who have been remanded into custody while awaiting trial. It is operated by the Ontario Correctional Services, a branch of the Ministry of the Solicitor General for the Ontario provincial government. It is located at 55 Civic Road, southwest of the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Birchmount Road in the Golden Mile commercial district in Scarborough. The facility was known as the Metropolitan Toronto East Detention Centre until Metropolitan Toronto was amalgamated in 1998. Although not to a degree a correctional centre would provide, various institutional staff provide inmates with a variety of remedial programs, including life skills, addictions, anger management, Alcoholics Anonymous, GED certifications, and volunteer educational services.
