When you jump your car and turn it off the car is dead?

Either the alternator is not providing a charge to the battery, or the battery has a dead cell and won't hold a charge. There are auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance, O'Reilly's) that will check batteries and/or alternators free of charge.

How long do you have to drive around to charge a car battery after jump starting a car?

You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator. Alternators are designed to keep a good battery charged, not to charge a dead battery. You can easily burn out a diode in the alternator. Jump start the engine and drive it somewhere and connect a battery charger to the battery and charge it fully.
