Mistaken Identity Prison Detention

Summary

Mistaken identity can result in wrongful imprisonment and involuntary commitment. Due process rights under the U.S. Constitution may be violated. In North Carolina, involuntary commitment requires clear and convincing evidence of mental illness and danger to self or others. Filing a writ of habeas corpus can challenge unlawful detention.
