Replace the word informed with "charged". It varies on a state-by-state basis.
There are constitutional protections in place that protect a prisoner from being held in jail for too long without going before a judge. One of these is the right to a speedy trial.
Because of Habeus Corpus, a person cannot be held in jail without a reason.
for life
yes as long as the key is off
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.
What are you being "held" for? If you are going to be charged and arraigned the time limit is governed by constitutional law. If you are being helf for extradition, then there is no statutory time limit.... as long as the extraditing state is in the process of removing you.
