Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A writ of habeas corpus is a court order demanding that a public official (such as a warden) deliver an imprisoned individual to the court and show a valid reason for that person's detention. It primarily addresses the legality of the confinement, not the conditions of confinement, the length of the sentence, or the legality of searches.
