How long are you in jail for resisting arrest?

Yes. Usually those that are arrested already have a charge that will be made against them but if you are being detained for questioning by a police officer and you resist, fight, or run, then you can be arrested on the grounds that you resisted arrest. Arrest does just not mean that you have been taken "downtown" but that you have been detained. You can be arrested and not charged for a crime.
