§ 395 Discharge when imprisonment illegal.

If you're a witness who gets locked up during a deposition (because an officer taking your deposition had you jailed for some reason, like refusing to answer questions), you have a way to fight back if that jailing wasn't actually legal. You can go to a judge and ask to be let out.

The judge will look at your situation and decide if the officer had the right to imprison you in the first place. If the judge finds that your imprisonment was not legal, the judge has the power to order your release right away.

This rule exists to protect witnesses from being locked up unfairly during the deposition process. It gives you a quick way to get help from a judge instead of staying stuck in jail while other legal steps play out.
