    History

    The Adult Division was created shortly after the Ministry of Correctional Services replaced the Department of Correctional Services in April, 1972. The division was headed by an Executive Director who reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Operations. The division was structured into several regions which provided the services of the Ministry of Correctional Services to adults across Ontario.

    The Adult Division ceased to exist as a result of a ministry restructuring in September 1978. All bodies formerly reporting to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Operations were re-organized and divided into two new divisions, the Institutions Division and the Community Programs Division.
