The write of habeas corpus ad prosequendum is used to transfer a defendant from the jurisdiction where he is held to the jurisdiction where he is going to face charges. It is also used in federal court to arrange for transportation of a witness who is in custody. So someone is arrested in California on a warrant out of Texas. Authorities in Texas file the writ and the defendant is transferred to Texas. Or someone in New York wants to call a witness who is in custody in Florida. The writ is filed and the US Marshals would bring the witness from Florida to New York to testify for trial.

Under a writ of habeas corpus how long can a person be held by the police before they must be charged with a crime or released?
Wrong! A Writ of Habeas Corpus is a judicial order which orders the jailer to present a specific individual to a judge. It specifically means Present the Body. How long the jailer has depends on the court order. Different court orders have different conditions. Court orders are generally public documents and not secret documents. One of the reasons the citizens of The United States fought its Revolutionary War was to prevent secret trials. Such are prohibited by the Bill of Rights. Simply because you wrote the judge requesting he issue a Writ of Habeas Corpus does not mean he issued the Writ. If he issued the Writ of Habeas Corpus you should have received a copy. If you did not, a relative or friend should be able to go to the court and pick up a copy for a nominal fee. It should have the information you desire.

Guarentees a person's right to appear before a judge to determine whether he or she was being held legally?
Question is not exactly clear. You can be "jailed" immediately after your arrest for "probable cause" and to be held for presentment before court. If by "jailed" you mean 'imprisoned,' then you may be referring to a Writ of 'Habeus Corpus' which compels the prosecution to show legal cause for your detention. If this is not the info you are seeking - please re-word and re-submit the question.
What are the legal implications of the term in custody?
The term is flexible and may mean actual imprisonment or the mere power-legal or physical-of imprisoning or assuming manual possession. A petitioner must be "in custody" to be entitled to Habeas Corpus relief, which provides for release from unlawful confinement in violation of constitutional rights. Custody in this context is synonymous with restraint of liberty and does not necessarily mean actual physical imprisonment. Persons who are on Probation or who are released on their own recognizance are "in custody" for purposes of habeas corpus proceedings.
