It depends on the crime and age if you are a child than if you killed someone than you might stay in jail till your 18 years old but if a adult killed a adult than he will go through court and then if he is guilty than he may have life in jail don't go down that rout.

Added: Get arrested. You will be held in jail until your court appearance, usually less than 24 hours but possibly as long as 36-48 hours, depending on the jurisdiction.

If you are denied bail you will be returned to jail to await your trial.

If you are convicted of a misdemeanor (sentenced to less than one year) you will be sent to jail to serve your time.

Prison sentences are for those convicted of felony offenses and sentenced to MORE than one year).
