A writ of habeas corpus is a court order compelling the government to produce a prisoner for a proceeding challenging the lawfulness of their detention.  
Following 9-11, the executive attempted to deny prisoners the privilege of habeas corpus.  The Supreme Court in Boumediene v Bush ordered that prisoners in indefinite detention be allowed to challenge their detention.
The Executive then tried to implement military commission as a means to deny habeas corpus.  The Court slapped him down again in Hamdan v Rumsfeld.
Next the Executive and Congress passed the Military Commissions Act, which attempted to strip the court of jurisdiction over habeas corpus for non-citizens.  The court ruled the Act unconstitutional.
Last year, a federal Republican judge reviewed new invasive body searches for prisoners wishing
