Habeas corpus (/ˈheɪbiəs ˈkɔːrpəs/ (listen); from Medieval Latin, lit. 'that you have the body')[1] is a recourse in law through which a person can report an unlawful detention or imprisonment to a court and request that the court order the custodian of the person, usually a prison official, to bring the prisoner to court, to determine whether the detention is lawful.[2]
