Title: Re: What is the purpose of the writ of habeas corpus? Post by: f_zah1 on Aug 4, 2014 From the Latin: we command that you have the body. Essentially what it means it that a government can not hold you captive without bringing you before a judge with their argument for what crime you have committed. Without it government could keep you imprisoned without your ever having your day in court.
