When a person is arrested he or she can be held by authorities (jailed) for a specified amount of time (usually 48 hours) before they must be charged with the crime they are alledged to have committed. If the person is charged with a crime they are brought before a judge (arraigned) and the prosecutor presents the evidence to the court that the person should be held for trial. All persons charged with a crime in the US have the right to legal representation regardless of their ability to pay. Any person who is arrested should obtain legal counsel/advice before making a statement to authorities. All the above is correct and I would like to add that persons who are held in jail without being told of their charges or upon trumped up charges have the right to apply for a writ of habeas corpus. He/she applies to the proper court for the writ alleging that the detention is unlawful. The court issues the writ to the person holding the prisoner and commands that person to bring the prisoner before the court and justify the detention. If the prisoner proves that the detention is unlawful, the court will order the prisoner's release.
