A suspect in a criminal investigation can usually be held for 24-72 hours before they must legally be released unless they're being charged with a crime. This is a matter of jurisdiction, as times vary. However, unless the Police have enough evidence to arrest the person, they're free to leave at any time.
A person cannot be held in jail without presentation of evidence. They can questioning a person but cannot hold them.
You will need to ask someone at the jail where the person is held. The jail will have the information on how to get the person released, and if it is possible.
It depends on why he/she is in jail in the first place. If the person is being held prior to trial, he/she will be released if he is found not guilty at trial. If the person is being held after trial, they will be released at the termination of their sentence.
It varies depending on which country you are in and the offence committed.
Probably not, why don't you throw the person in a jail cell for a night or two.

Too broad a question - more information is needed in order to answer. What is the person charged with? What is he being held in jail for? If he is being held for extradition, he won't have a court date until he is extradited back to the state that wants him - THEN - he will receive a court date.
Bail- also known as posting a bond- guarantees that you will appear for trial.
When a person is being held in a county jail on warrant from another county, then a bail bond cannot be posted until that person has been transported to the county which issued the warrant.
Custody release is a term used within law enforcement agencies. This means that a person who was being held in jail or prison has been released or let out of jail.
My boyfriend was recently arrested and I don't know where they took him. Is there a directory I can access that will tell me which inmates are at the Fayette County Jail?
