habeas corpus ad prosequendum
- It's a term from Latin referring to a court order that instructs a prison official to bring a prisoner to a jurisdiction where they have committed a crime for the purpose of prosecution
- The prison warden received a habeas corpus ad prosequendum ordering the transfer of the inmate to the county where his trial was scheduled.
- Without the issuance of a habeas corpus ad prosequendum, the accused could not be moved for prosecution in the area where the crime was committed.
- In the absence of a habeas corpus ad prosequendum, the trial for the out-of-state crime would have to be delayed until the prisoner finished serving their current sentence.
