Toronto Star: Maplehurst Correctional Centre

Maplehurst Correctional Centre: Earl Essery, the shift supervisor at Maplehurst Correctional Centre in Milton, Ont., confirmed the move late Tuesday but would not specify where Avery Edison had been sent. Edison has been denied jail release and will return to England on Thursday , according to the Toronto Star, according to Huffington Post. Edison tweeted that despite her passport listing her as a female, the customs officials sent her to Maplehurst, which is a detention centre for males, to await a hearing and Jail officials say a transgender woman from London, England, who was held in a detention centre for males has now been transferred to a facility for women. Edison, 25, had posted on her Twitter account that she landed Monday at Toronto's Pearson airport and was detained by the Canada Border Services Agency. She suspects she was detained because the last time she was here she overstayed her student visa. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
