subpoena
habeas corpus

The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus enables the release from custody of persons unlawfully detained. The writ itself protects individuals from illegal arrests and detention, through a court order compelling officers to “produce the body” and explain the basis for a person’s continued detention.)
