Probation is a sentence for being found guilty of a crime. So - therefore - you WERE found guilty of something. You are being held because you violated your sentence of probation which caused it to be revoked and converted to a jail term. You can remain in detention until the term of your sentence is completed.
You will set in jail until one your court date or two you bail out of jail. bail will depend on what you are being held for.
There are constitutional protections in place that protect a prisoner from being held in jail for too long without going before a judge. One of these is the right to a speedy trial.
Conviction in the legal sense would mean that the person has alread been found guilty. But a suspect can be held for about 48 hours without being charged with a crime. If there is not enough evidence or for whatever reason charges are not filed then the suspect must be released. In addition, a suspect may be held in jail without being convicted if he cannot make bail or if the ability to be released on bail is denied.
The police do not keep you in jail, the court does. The court will keep you in jail - or temporarily free on bail - until your "not guilty" status is confirmed by a court. Either the prosecution fails to prove you guilty or prosecutors drop the charges. When the court confirms you are not guilty, you are immediately freed.
If your stay in Country Jail was to serve a sentence for another separate offense - when that sentence is concluded you will be shipped off to prison to serve the sentence for whatever felony offense you were found guilty of. If you are simply being held awaiting housing availability in prison, the court MAY add your county jail time to your 'good' time.
Pocahontas was held as a prisoner in Jamestown. She spend three months in the jail after being captured by Captain Samuel Argall.
County hold means that you have a outstanding arrest warrant in another county and you are being held for 10 days. The other county has 10 days to pick you up or you will be released from jail as long as you do not have a case pending in the county you are in jail at.
Not at that time. As long as you are allowed to be "out on bond" during the course of the trial, rather than held in jail, the bond will remain in effect. You will not be able to get your bond returned until the case is concluded and you're are found either guilty or not guilty.
This all depends on the case. Often times when a person has been convicted, especially after being found guilty by a jury, information is gathered for the judge to consider before rendering a sentence. This can take several months or even years, especially if a codefendant had not yet gone to trial.
It varies depending on which country you are in and the offence committed.
Same as any otger indictment
