Habeas corpus is a fundamental right allotted in the Constitution. Ultimately, it protects against unlawful imprisonment or indefinite imprisonment. Essentially, it protects individual freedom against overarching executive power. A habeas corpus petition typically accuses state agents, such as wardens, of abusing individual freedoms. For more information, talk to a lawyer or legal professional.
After filing a habeas petition, the court will review it and either grant or deny it. If granted, the court will allow a hearing on the matter. The inmate and the government will each get a chance to plead their case before a judge. The government or prosecution will provide evidence explaining why jailing or imprisoning the individual is right.
