The Internment in Valby is constructed in a former beer depot in relationship with the state of emergency laws introduced in relationship with the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 (COP15) December 2009 cite-ref-1[1]

It is the primary detention used for climate activists, who will be arrested by the police. The police can detain people for 12 hours, which is called preemptive arrest cite-ref-eb1-2-0[2]

The procedure:

• 1) The detainees will be placed on benches in handcuffs until they will be called to be booked and searched.cite-ref-eb2-3-0[3]

• 2) Then they will be led to the cages (pejoratively called "dog cages" in the Danish media) which can each accommodate 8-10 persons.cite-ref-eb2-3-1[3]

• 3) If police investigation leads to charges the detainee will be transferred to Vestre Fængsel. Otherwise the detainee will be released after the 12-hour period since the arrest has passed.

There will be access to toilet and water. Food can be earned after 6 hours. Due to limited heating possibilities the detainees can be granted a blanket.cite-ref-eb1-2-1[2]

A common nickname in the press is the "Climate Prison" cite-ref-4[4]
