    Default How to File a Petition for Habeas Corpus

    A friend is being held in the Coconino County Detention Center in AZ on a Probation Violation Hold for Maricopa County. Even though he's completed his time in Coconino County and is supposed to be transported to Maricopa County for the Probation Violation, neither County has done this and it's going on 3 weeks past the completion of his sentence. We have done everything we know to find out just how long Coconino County can legally hold him for Maricopa County to no avail.

    We would like to file a Petition for Habeas Corpus for him, but don't have a clue as to how to do this, or which County we should file it in. I also understand that the prisoner himself can file this petition while incarcerated. I would appreciate it if someone out here could tell me how I can file this Petition AND how the prisoner himself can file this Petition. What form/forms do I need, where do I find them? Thanks for the replies.

    I can't find an example online. Jail law libraries sometimes have sample or "fill in the blank" forms available, so he should check. You also may be able to get a sample form and instructions at the courthouse.

    Read this.
