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.
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.
Inmates have access to two outside yards, approved visits (operating 7 days a week), chaplaincy and religious services, and recreation programs.
