internment Internment means putting a person in prison or other kind of detention, generally in wartime. During World War II, the American government put Japanese-Americans in internment camps, fearing they might be loyal to Japan. Internment usually doesnât involve a trial, so you're being held because someone thinks you might be dangerous, but thereâs no proof.
