HABEAS CORPUS A petition for a writ of habeas corpus is a judicial mandate to a prison official, often from a prisoner, ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not s/he should be released from custody. Habeas Corpus forms the essence of the rule of law - a fundamental right to challenge detention.

Two adolescents were sent back home after they had been incarcerated from 27 JUN 81 until 4 JUL 1981. From a prison administrative document, circa 1981, the categories were: CATEGORY ICATEGORY II CATEGORY III
In another Detainee Category list, also from 1981, is the following:
No matter what category or the travails of the prisoner, families also suffered. One anonymous account turned up in a Trinidadian weekly newspaper - Letter from Wife of a Detainee 1980. Anglican Archdeacon of Grenada Hoskins Huggins, in a 14 March 1982 sermon at the Roman Catholic Cathedral, spoke of the detainees. According to Hughes, the Archdeacon said this:
Some family members or prisoners themselves wrote directly to Minister of National Security Maurice Bishop and others in authority [See within List above]. The count of detainees was in dispute and disarray. According to a document from 29 SEP 1981, photocopied in the "Grenada Documents," the population within the Richmond Hill Prison system was outlined in a letter from the Office of Special Investigations, signed by the late Victor Husbands, who was Special Investigator at that time, to Prime Minister Maurice Bishop. The third paragraph from the top reads:
In another document, this one from the Permanent Mission of Grenada to the United Nations, dated 8 JAN 1982, 24 detainees were released 31 DEC 1981. This news sheet stated:-
During the time span from 13 MAR 1979 through 27 OCT 1983, in the above list, there are more than 450 detainees incarcerated for varying lengths of time, including some held only for one day, or a couple of days. Many prisoners, it is reported, were taken through an initial gauntlet of torture to obtain confessions at Fort Rupert before their transfer to Richmond Hill Prison. According to current prisoner Callistus 'Abdullah' Bernard in his 2006 book titled "They Could Only Kill Me Once," Richmond Hill Prison 'political detainees' are approximated: The approximately 600 detainee count cited by many sources includes Rastafarians at Hope Vale. A count could include the prisons where reports were not issued like Mount Royal, Fort Rupert, or Camp Boney, or the Central Police Station and Marli Militia Camp in Sauteurs; a couple of prisoners in the General Hospital or the Mental Hospital. Anecdotal reports are prevalent that there were up to 3,000 persons detained during the time of the People's Revolutionary Government (PRG), but this has not been verified at all and may be another 'Grenada Revo Myth.' A report from Victor Husbands in a Detainees Update as of 20 DEC 1982 put a total number of 102 detainees at Richmond Hill Prison with 13 at Hope Vale, 2 in the General Hospital, 1 in the psychiatric hospital and 2 at Fort Rupert/Camp Boney. Former Detainee Lloyd Noel stated in his 19 October 2009 column Online Column that in 1983, there were 113 prisoners at Richmond Hill Prison and Hope Vale Camp. Due to new detentions, releases, transfers, alternate locations, illnesses, deaths and escapees from 1979 to October 1983, the countless changes in the prison population invite confusion. Prisoners attempted escape; about 11 prisoners from Richmond Hill Prison tried to get free, plus the 'Infamous Four' who attempted escape from Richmond Hill prison on 6 MAY 1980. Approximately 14 people walked away from the Hope Vale Camp. These escape attempts, with recaptures and successes are stories in themselves.
