The study examines the sustainability of food supply systems in correctional institutions through the lens of producer integration, with particular emphasis on economic, social, and environmental impacts. At the core of the research is a new type of demand–driven integration model that offers stable market opportunities for local agricultural producers while contributing to cost–efficiency and sustainability objectives. The study applies the BATWOVE framework to identify the roles, motivations, and obstacles of stakeholders, and to support the structural transformation of the system. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the research explores producers’ willingness to integrate and the practical feasibility of sustainable public procurement. The study proposes policy and practice–oriented recommendations, including regulatory adjustments, procurement reform, and the development of local food logistics systems, all of which contribute to the establishment of an adaptive, synergistic, and long–term sustainable prison food supply model.
