About Vestre Fængsel
Vestre holds men (and historically mixed remand traffic) for Copenhagen’s judiciary in remand conditions. It is not Statsfængslet Østjylland’s sentenced campus.
Locating someone
Denmark publishes no prisoner names online. Kriminalforsorgen or the defence lawyer confirms Vestre versus a Jutland transfer.
Visits
Remand visits are tightly scheduled on kriminalforsorgen.dk establishment pages. Read Vestre’s live rules before crossing from Sweden or Jutland.
Travel to Copenhagen
Copenhagen Sydhavn — bus from København H or metro plus walk. Parking is tight near the courts district spillover.
