This paper explores how sustainable design principles can transform the architecture of high-security correctional facilities into resilient, low-carbon systems that balance safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Using Sdr. Omme Prison in Denmark as a case study, the paper demonstrates how differentiated construction methods, lifecycle assessments, material health, and landscape integration can significantly reduce environmental impact while supporting operational performance. The project illustrates that sustainable correctional design is not only compatible with stringent security requirements but can enhance them through intelligent planning, resource management, and partnership-driven innovation. By combining architectural, technical, and biodiversity strategies, the project establishes a scalable framework for sustainable infrastructure in correctional environments.
