Without the writ of habeas corpus, people would be at risk of being detained indefinitely without good reason or at least the right to have a fair hearing. The writ of habeas corpus assures the accused of asking for a hearing to determine the validity of their detainment.
A writ of habeas corpus is used to bring a prisoner or other detainee (e.g. institutionalized mental patient) before the court to determine if the persons imprisonment or detention is lawful. A habeas petition proceeds as a civil action against the State agent (usually a warden) who holds the defendant in custody.
Habeas corpus is one of the earliest common law writs. In its simplest form a writ of habeas corpus requires that a person who is in custody be brought before a judge or court and that they be able to challenge that custody. The writ of habeas corpus is used to attack an unlawful detention or illegal imprisonment.
Ask the court for a writ of habeas corpus (a court order telling a public official, like a prison warden, to bring you to the court and show a legal reason for holding you) to challenge your criminal conviction or commitment to another facility or the conditions under which you are being held.
