Structured Intervention Units (SIUs) were incorporated into the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) on November 30, 2019. As per the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA), such units are intended to provide intervention-based accommodation to individuals whose placement in a mainstream unit would interfere with institutional security, personal safety, or the integrity of an investigation. The goal of the present research was to discern the factors associated with successful integration among complex SIU cases. In this research, complex cases refer to cases marked by prior periods of prolonged difficulties in maintaining mainstream status, as evidenced by a high frequency of returns to SIUs and/or extended durations in SIUs.
