The document that you are referring to is probably a "writ of habeus corpus". If you are in the situation that you have written about, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in your endeavor. If you cannot afford a private attorney, I suggest that you contact the public defender's office to see if you qualify for assistance.
