I would think this gentleman needed an attorney “on call”.
It helps if said attorney is politically connected, as in he is also associated with one’s State Legislature, is a County Judge, District Attorney, etc. Many of these attorneys have a private practice, aside from their official capacity. I guess it’s called the good old boy’s network.
Btw, I think that is more important than having a physician on call.
An attorney could call a judge, aske for a writ of habeas corpus, IIRC, and he would not have had to go through all of this.
Under the NDAA having a lawyer might not do you any good, ie if the POTUS declares you an enemy combatant. It’s like 1939 Germany............never argue with Berlin!

Not anymore; the NDAA was the suspension of habeas corpus, and all perfectly legal as it was for “the security.”
