Great question. Habeas Corpus (literally, have the body or show the body) is a writ which is issued by a court, ordering a person who is in custody of a detainee to present that person before the court and also show that he has the authority to hold the said person in detention. Such a petition can be filed by the prisoner himself, or anyone else on his behalf.The Guantanamo Bay prison (or Gitmo) holds a number of prisoners who have been imprisoned without a due process of law being followed. The US administration played it smart by establishing it off shore. That is, if it was within the US territory, the prisoners would get the rights to access courts and seek redressal. By establishing it in Cuba, they were able to deprive the captives of a number of rights as the US courts did not have jurisdiction and the US laws didn't apply. But in 2008, the US Supreme Court ruled that the prisoners too had the right to file a petition seeking the writ of habeas corpus in any US court. Hope this answers your question.

I’m not sure you’re clear on what “habeas corpus” means. Literally, it means “bring out the body” of a person who has been imprisoned, and present him in front of a judge, for one reason or another. The chances of “winning” a petition for habeas corpus, i.e. forcing the government to “bring out the body,” approach 100% in the US where the right to demand habeas corpus is guaranteed by the Constitution. But somehow I suspect that’s not what you mean. To dig deeper, let’s look at the reasons why somebody may _want_ to petition for habeas corpus.The most obvious reason, in countries where a person the government doesn’t like for whatever reason can just be conveniently “disappeared” without a trace, is simply to force the government to prove, in the flesh, that the person is still alive, and is in the government’s custody. You may think, “That can’t happen in America.” But why? Because the right of habeas corpus is guaranteed by the Constitution, that’s why. Don’t sneeze at that.Another reason for a habeas corpus petition to be filed is to require the prisoner to be produced in court on a certain date and time, so he can testify at a hearing or trial (not his own). If the petitioner jumps through all the procedural hoops required to file such a petition, it is also almost 100% likely that the jailers will cooperate in transporting the prisoner from the cell where he is being kept, to the court where they were commanded to produce him. It’s done all the time. Then, after the prisoner testifies or does whatever it is he’s supposed to do in court, they take him back to his cell. The petitioner “wins” the habeas petition, but the convict goes back to jail afterwards.The third reason, and, I suspect, what you are really asking, is the use of a habeas corpus petition to challenge the grounds under which the prisoner is being held — such as, either to assert that he was subjected to a cruel or unusual punishment (in violation of the 8th Amendment), or was deprived of the right to competent counsel in the course of being convicted (in violation of the 6th Amendment), or because the law under which he was convicted is unconstitutional, or for some other reason. Here, after the petition is filed, and after the jailers are required to bring the prisoner to the court to face the judge, the lawyer who filed the petition will argue the legal reasons why the prisoner should be released from custody. Some win, some lose. What are the statistics? I have no idea. And why does it matter, anyway? Each case is unique. What matters more is whether the lawyer (or person representing himself) believes that good grounds exist for collaterally challenging the conviction (a “direct” challenge would be to appeal the conviction itself; a “collateral” challenge, such as a habeas petition, is one that tries to get the conviction overturned some other way) and is willing to put the time and effort and money necessary into putting together a case for why it should be overturned. The individual specifics of how this particular defendant was treated matter far more than statistics.Which may not exactly answer your question, but is the best I can do.

Generally speaking, you have a year from when your case becomes final to file a federal habeas corpus petition.For instance, if you are a state prisoner seeking habeas corpus relief, you have a year from when the time for filing a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the US Supreme Court has expired to file a Sec. 2254 petition, assuming you followed through and filed for review in your highest state court.There are a fair number of variables, however. The time period is tolled for many reasons, like newly available evidence, or if there was a governmentally imposed impediment to filing and so on. These tolling periods are very specific and have a high burden of proof.There are procedural tolling rules as well, which can get complicated.Your best bet is to contact your local Federal Defender Services office, which can give you more guidance.

In California state courts, there are no filing fees associated with a petition for writ of habeas corpus.In the federal district courts, there is a $5 dollar filing fee.The cost of hiring someone to prepare a petition varies greatly. Non-attorney “writ writers” charge only a few hundred dollars. I recently spoke to a person whose attorney charged $8,000 to prepare, file and argue a petition for writ of habeas corpus in federal court.

Technically, under the Constitution, “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it." (Article 1, Section 9)That means that the Constitution technically grants the right to suspend habeas corpus if it’s necessary and the nation is at war (either an invasion or civil war). That’s the justification Lincoln used to suspend it in Maryland during the Civil War (though the Supreme Court later declared that impermissible).The problem is that the Constitution doesn’t have an clear definition for what constitutes a “rebellion or invasion”. It may seem like that should be obvious, but someone looking for a loophole could find a lot of wiggle room. If there’s a serious and signNow spate of civil unrest, which involves at least some violence, could that be considered a rebellion? If we have the kind of riots that the US saw in 1965, or 1967, or 1992 could an overzealous or power-hungry president declare that a rebellion? By the same token, anti-immigrationists have been declaring migrant caravans to constitute an invasion for many years. What if the president started locking up both those migrants and everyone who supported them, without charges or access to counsel? He could argue that his duty was to protect the nation against invasions, and that required extraordinary measures.In any of these cases, we’d rely on the Supreme Court to smack down such creative interpretations. But if the President managed to pack the court with sufficiently friendly and loyal judges, it’s not hard to imagine that he could get away with it.Of course, America would never elect such an authoritarian, power-hungry president, with such a total disregard for the rules and basic norms of civil society. And if we did, surely the other branches of government would discard their partisan loyalties and put the good of the country first. Which is good, because the nightmarish situation of a narcissistic strongman building a cult of personality and ruling the country with a teeny-tiny iron fist is just too nightmarish to contemplate.

AppEvals are used to correct errors that occurred during the case. ... An appEval is not used if you just want another stab at proving innocence in front of a jury or judge. A writ of habeas corpus, on the other hand, can be used if you want the appellate court to consider evidence that the trial judge might not have had.

Although judgments can only remain on credit reports for seven years from the filing date, it doesn't mean they're simply going to go away at that time. In most jurisdictions a judgment creditor can have the judgment re-filed or \u201crevived\u201d before it expires, which varies state by state.

Court orders in which a judge requires authorities to prove that a prisoner is being held lawfully and that allows the prisoner to be freed if the judge is not persuaded by the government's case. Habeas corpus rights imply that prisoners have a right to know what charges are being made against them.
