  • Descrição: This article seeks to understand the unique challenges brought about by the increasing prevalence of necessary-predicate-based offenses and whether or not habeas corpus might be a tool to allow for offenders to challenge necessary predicate offenses. Part I of this article outlines the history of habeas corpus, concentrating on the requirement that a petitioner be "in custody" in order to bring a habeas challenge. While the custody requirement used to be black-and-white, advances in technology and penology, including the increasing use of parole, probation, sentence enhancements, and necessary-predicate-based offenses have made the custody requirement far more complicated. Part II examines courts' identification and treatment of necessary-predicate-based offenses, finding that there is uncertainty as to whether the prudential bar erected by the Court prohibits the examination of necessary predicate offenses. Part III clarifies this area of the law by examining the rationales that underlie the Court's decisions related to custody in general and sentence enhancements in particular.
