Conviction in the legal sense would mean that the person has alread been found guilty. But a suspect can be held for about 48 hours without being charged with a crime. If there is not enough evidence or for whatever reason charges are not filed then the suspect must be released.
In addition, a suspect may be held in jail without being convicted if he cannot make bail or if the ability to be released on bail is denied.
