Why is Habeas Corpus so important?

Habeas corpus literally translates to 'produce the body'. It stems from fundamental independent judicial traditions which emerged within the common law system of England which began to evolve in the 11th century. Elements of habeas corpus were enshrined in legislation in the Magna Carta of 1215. It is important as it is a common law expression of essential individual legal rights - namely that no governing authority nor any of its executive branches can by right detain an individual without presenting them before the judicial branch. The principles of habeas corpus have since been adopted, to greater or lesser degrees, by non-common law nations. An individual has the right not to be subject to arbitrary arrest or detention and procedures of habeas corpus operate to prevent this from occurring. Habeas corpus requires that an individual be: as promptly as is practicable, presented before an impartial third party judicial authority; to be informed of the charges laid against them; to have the need and duration of their detention be determined upon legal grounds; to be given fair opportunity to defend charges against them; and to have any charges against them be adjudicated with reasonable expedition. In the context of current issues, habeas corpus rights have been significantly undermined through the indefinite detention of suspected terrorist subjects at Guantanamo Bay; through the suspension of New Zealand's statutory Bill of Rights to allow for detention under anti-terror laws; and through the amendment of legislation in Australia to allow for ongoing detention without charge for individual suspected of associating with known or suspected terrorists - the determination of which is subject to exercise of executive, rather than judicial, power.


An order that shows that a person is in jail for a good reason?

It's called 'a writ of Habeas corpus.' You can ask a judge for one. He issues it, you take it to the jailer, and the jailer (or district attorney or police representative) appears in the judge's court and justifies the detention of the person in jail. If they can't justify detention to the judge's satisfaction (and the satisfaction of the law), and if there are no other pending charges, the judge may order the detainee to be set free.Added: The above MAY be the answer that was being sought.HOWEVER - another order that shows that person is in jail for a good reason, would be the commitment, or sentencing order AFTER they were found guilty and adjudicated by the court.
