Charles Dickens did not get arrested. When he was about 12 years old, his father John was arrested and sent to Marshalsea debtors prison. After a while, he brought his family (minus Charles) into the prison with him, and they stayed there less than a year. Since Charles was by then old enough to work, he was found a job at Warren's Blacking Factory (which he hated), applying labels to bottles; he lived alone in rooms nearby and, according to him, nearly starved to death. John and the family were released because he came into an inheritance when an aunt died. Charles's mother wanted Charles to continue to work, but his father insisted Charles return home. Charles resented his mother's attitude on this and carried that resentment the rest of his life.
