It depends which country you're in. In the UK, you can be held for up to 72 hours without charge, while a crime is investigated. After 72 hours, the custody sergeant has to present good reasons to a magistrate in order to get the period extended. Once charged, a person is usually released on bail - pending a court appearance. HOWEVER - if the custody sergeant has grounds to believe a prisoner may abscond before their court date - he can detain the prisoner, until the first court appearance - where the magistrate will decide if bail or remand is the best option.
