Arthur Meen, minister of correctional services, stands behind bars while John Walter, deputy superintendent, holds cell door. Individual cells in new $12 million East Metro Detention Centre have AM-FM radios, private toilets and sinks, writing desks, padded chairs and smoke detectors. Published in Toronto Star, 25 April 1977, page C1, with article ''$12 million 'humane' new jail is open''. (43.7263263, -79.2804471)
