Definition
A Writ of Habeas Corpus is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that prisoner has been lawfully imprisoned and whether or not they should be released from custody. It serves as a protection against illegal detention and ensures the right of the accused to appear in court.
