A New Jersey Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. 2241 is a legal document which allows an individual to challenge the legality of their imprisonment or detention. This petition can be filed by individuals who are held in state or federal custody, such as individuals who are on parole or probation, or serving a sentence. The petition must be filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and must set forth the facts and legal grounds upon which the petitioner is challenging their detention. The petition must include a claim that the petitioner is being held in violation of the Constitution or federal law, and the petitioner must provide evidence to support their claim. If the court finds that the petitioner has established a case of unlawful detention, the court may order the petitioner to be released from custody.

A first-time petition is filed by an individual who is challenging their initial detention, while a successive petition is filed by an individual who has previously filed and lost an areas petition.
