Millhaven Institution warden talks about structured intervention units
Global News
Millhaven Institution is making strides to get more modern when it comes to the necessary isolation of some prisoners, and it comes in the form of structured intervention units.
Putting prisoners into segregation units isn’t allowed anymore. Legislative changes ended that practice in federal prisons in 2019.
Instead, inmates are placed in “structured intervention units.”
On Wednesday, Corrections Canada opened its doors for a rare media tour of these units and how they work.
“It was probably the biggest change that the correctional service had faced,” said Henry Saulnier, Warden at Millhaven Institution.
Saulnier said he’s proud of what the institution has done to change with the times, and legislation.
Prior to November 2019, when an inmate posed a safety risk to themselves, other inmates or correctional staff, or maybe simply didn’t feel safe , they would likely have spent time in segregation with a single hour a day out of the cell.
“That … could have been mainly taken up pretty much for a shower or exercise or fresh air,” said Saulnier.
But on the heels of legislative changes, enter the structured intervention unit, with a goal of reducing some of the harm that can result from isolation.
