Introduction<\/h2>\n

A writ of habeas corpus is a legal rule that gives a prisoner the right to request court assistance and show that they\u2019ve been wrongfully imprisoned<\/a>. In other words, if you\u2019re arrested, you can make the arrester prove that you were lawfully arrested and detained.<\/p>\n

Convicted criminals who think they\u2019re being held in inhumane conditions or were wrongly detained may file a writ of habeas corpus in an attempt to challenge their imprisonment. In many countries, residents are incarcerated for long periods of time without the legal means to challenge it.<\/p>\n

Habeas corpus is meant to prevent this type of abuse in the United States. If you believe you\u2019ve been unfairly sentenced, working with a criminal defense<\/a> attorney is essential.<\/p>\n
