How long can the government keep someone in jail before they are brought to trial?
Generally, accused persons must be arraigned as soon as possible. While there is no specific time set in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, "Rule 5: Initial Appearance" states the following:
(a) In General.
(1) Appearance Upon an Arrest.
(A) A person making an arrest within the United States must take the defendant without unnecessary delay before a magistrate judge, or before a state or local judicial officer as Rule 5(c) provides, unless a statute provides otherwise.
In general, if the arresting/investigating officer has strong evidence, arraignment will occur within hours (typically less than 24) of the arrest. In situations where the case is not so certain, situations will "interfere" with this process.
This process also falls under the auspices of the Speedy Trial Act of 1974. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161-3174 (US Code) contains The Act as amended 2 August 1979 and lays out the time period, both minimum and maximum for filing an indictment with the courts (within 70 days from the date the indictment was filed and not less than 30 days from when it was filed to provide the accused of adequate defense).
While these are Federal laws, they deal with Civil Rights and cannot be superseded by the states.
As far as conviction, if no bail has been met or set, the accused may remain in jail largely indefinitely as long as the process continues.
If the accused is being held for terrorist acts (which can be defined as any act of terror against two or more people), he can be held forever with no consideration for civil rights, no lawyer, no trial, no investigation beyond what was used to apprehend him.
AnswerIn the United States every state as well as the federal government has a speedy trial statute that requires a defendant to be brought to trial within a specified time after indictment, generally a year or less. That time is extended by pre-trial motions, discovery needs and other issues that arise in any pre-trial setting implicating the interests of both parties. If the government has moved for a continuance of the trial, either the defendant must agree with it or the speedy trial clock keeps running. One would need to check the individual state statutes for any exceptions.

Can parole board take away street time from full term release date?
While your question is unclear, the answer is irrefutable for all questions related to the parole board:
The parole board has ultimate authority over the parolee and nearly every aspect of his life. If the parole board choose to, for instance, revoke your parole because you are directed to stand on one foot and bark the National Anthem like a dog and you refuse, you have only one recourse...return to prison. Once this is understood, and the parolee determines to "Lay Down" and stay off the radar (by simply living right) the problems encountered with the parole office will be dramatically reduced.

What does 812.014-2798 larc-petit first off mean someone is charged with?
Well, Larc is an abbreviation for Larceny. Larceny is to take something and carry it away of tangible personal property of another by trespass with intent to deprive the person of his interest in the property. And Petit Theft is that object stolen's value is below a certain arbitrary standard. 1st Off. is an abbreviation for 1st offense.
So this person is charged with their first offense of Petit Larceny.
That number is just the code for the charge.

1/2/10:
No, not anymore. He was abducted by the Chinese at the end of the 5th season and sent to a Chinese prison. He was there for about 2 years before the president his release. That was at the beginning of the 6th season.
Since the 1990s, there have been new categories of crime added. The ever increasing types of drug trafficing and sales and the new laws to combat that; new types of laws to address domestic violence and stalking, just to name a few. Prior to the eighties, these last two were not criminalized and victims had to fend for themselves.
Still addressing the sharp rise in prison inmates over the past 20 years, many new effective tools have been developed, in particular, the sciences, computer investigation, tracking telephone and financial records. As the crime rate went down, authorities developed cold case squads to solve old crimes that they couldn't solve 15 and 20 years ago. These new methods have been very effective.
I don't know the source of your statistics; my trust in them goes only so far. Back in the '90s, I got into a "discussion" with a friend about whether the violent crime rate was up or down; she said up and I said stayed about the same. After looking into how to find those numbers and who reports them, I found out that the US Dept. of Justice uses reports from law enforcement agencies around the country and the FBI used telephone surveys, contacting a cross section of Americans and asking them about their experience with violent crime for the past 12 months. Sure enough, the Dept. of Justice numbers said it was up and the FBI said it was down. Why the difference? Because law enforcement agencies are government agencies depending on getting funding for the next fiscal year. Go figure. So always understand whose numbers you are quoting and what they're based on.

What does it mean when a charge is changed from parole violation to fugitive by his parole officer?
It means the jurisdiction of your case has shifted from state to federal agencies. As a parole violator, only state authorities would take an active part in attempting to locate you. As a fugitive, the FBI and US Marshalls become involved.
How do you locate an inmate in the Imperial County state prison?
Not sure where that is, but you can usually locate any state inmate through Prison Legal News, here: http://www.prisonlegalnews.org/(X(1)S(lkt3hayy3kdmmhrhvfm2g155))/InmateLocator.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1(looks like you'll have to copy and paste this to the address line.) Scroll down to your state, click the DOC link, then follow the directions. Look for Inmate Information, of Offender Locator. Good luck. If you have difficulties, message me at my profile.
Yes. It is known as "amending the charge." It is usually done when the prosecutor finds the circumstances of the offense are found to actually better fit the criteria of another offense. In your case, both charges are apparently misdemeanors so you're not facing any increased penalty.
