How long are you in jail for resisting arrest?
Yes. Usually those that are arrested already have a charge that will be made against them but if you are being detained for questioning by a police officer and you resist, fight, or run, then you can be arrested on the grounds that you resisted arrest. Arrest does just not mean that you have been taken "downtown" but that you have been detained. You can be arrested and not charged for a crime.
If a person resist arrest could he be charged for escaping lawful custody?
NO. Escape can only occur after a lawful arrest has been made. An example would be at any point from the time the offender has been taken into custody through the service of any period of judicially imposed incarceration. Resisting Arrest is a separate criminal act and it occurs when a law enforcement officer is attempting to affect an arrest. It could be any act (even passive) from refusing to comply to running away from the officer. Most municipal and county governments throughout the U.S. have and additional ordinance know as "failure to stop on lawful command" This ordinance can further assist the officer in gaining control over a suspected offender/suspect.

What evidence is need to get a conviction on a resisting arrest charge?
Individual jurisdictions laws may vary but the primary thing needed for an arrest is a warrant signed by a judge who found sufficient cause for the arrest. Physical evidence may not be required if there is sufficient witness statements. Some standard exceptions to requiring a warrant are, a law enforcement officer witnesses a criminal act, the probability of destruction of evidence, immanent harm to others or the target of the arrest. A warrant for an arrest and a warrantless arrest are based on probable cause, which is based on the opinion of the officers or magistrate. The probable cause must be adequate to sustain the scrutiny of a court.Added: SHORT ANSWER - the only thing necessary is PROBABLE CAUSE on the part of the officer that you committed an offense.
