The term habeas corpus refers most commonly to the writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, which directs the custodian of a prisoner to bring that prisoner before a court and explain the reasons for his or her confinement. A writ of habeas corpus is a challenge to the legality of a prisoner's detention and does not directly or necessarily entail an inquiry into the prisoner's guilt or innocence. After examining the reasons for confinement, the court that issued the writ may release the prisoner or remand the prisoner into custody. The "great writ of liberty," as it is often called, is a judicial remedy aimed at preventing the arbitrary use of executive power to imprison individuals without just cause.
The “Great” Writ

The writ of habeas corpus . . . is known as “the Great Writ.” It generally is a procedural remedy commanding a custodian, such as a sheriff, to bring a detained party, such as a prisoner, before the court to show cause for the detainment and to prove whether the detainment is lawful or justified. If the detainment is not lawful or justified, the detained party may be released.

Federal statutes (28 U.S.C. §§ 2241–2256) outline the procedural aspects of federal habeas proceedings. There are two prerequisites for habeas review: the petitioner must be in custody when the petition is filed, and a prisoner who is held in state government custody must have exhausted all state remedies, including state appellate review. Any federal court may grant a writ of habeas corpus to a petitioner who is within its jurisdiction. The habeas petition must be in writing and signed and verified either by the petitioner seeking relief or by someone acting on his or her behalf. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/habeas_corpus
Incarcerated, habeas corpus is seeking freedom from physical restraint, freedom from unreasonable laws that authorize government police power.
Constitutional limitation of police power is that the use police power to be reasonable and necessary, to protect the rights of others, public morals, health and safety.

28 U.S C. § 2255 (e) An application for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of a prisoner who is authorized to apply for relief by motion pursuant to this section, shall not be entertained if it appears that the applicant has failed to apply for relief, by motion, to the court which sentenced him, or that such court has denied him relief, unless it also appears that the remedy by motion is inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/2255
28 U.S.C. § 2242. “Application for a writ of habeas corpus shall be in writing signed . . . by someone acting in his behalf." https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/2242
Court Rule 2(b)(5) violates the 28 U.S C. § 2255 (e). This court rule 2(b)(5) has taken the word “authorized” out of context as it is applied in Title 28 U.S C. § 2255 (e).
