The writ of habeas corpus is a legal order that directs the person detaining a prisoner to bring that person before a judicial officer to determine the lawfulness of the imprisonment. This writ protects individuals from being unlawfully detained by the government or law enforcement officials. Restorative justice, diversion, and victim impact statements are not related to the release of detained individuals.
