In California they can hold you for 10 days. After 10 days they will need to charge you with a crime or release you from custody. Usually when you are in jail without being charged with a crime is because they are investigating the crime and they have yet to figure out what charges to press on you at this time. This is usually accept by a judge to hold you.
(in the US) This option is not available in some jurisdictions in this country and where it does exist, although the period varies, it is of short duration.
In those jurisdictions where it does exist it is generally known as detainment for investigation (or similar wording). It fulfills the necessity for investigating more deeply into circumstances which consist of 'reasonable suspicion, but do not immediately rise to the level of 'probable cause.'
Need more specific info. In some cases for ever.

An investigative detention is technically a "Terry stop," named for the law established in Terry v. Ohio. The detention can be for as long as is "reasonably necessary," and in most jurisdictions there is no clear-cut time limit. Exceptions include Nevada, where the statutory limit on investigative detentions is one hour.An investigative detention ends whenthe officer tells the detained person they are free to go,the officer arrests the detained person,the detained person agrees to cooperate with the investigation,the officer moves the detained person from the location of the detention against the detained person's willthe detention is no longer reasonably necessary or the gravity of the crime does not warrant a longer detentionA court might view a 6-hour investigative detention as reasonable when the crime at hand is murder, but unreasonable if the crime is the theft of a candy bar.If the detained person is not arrested, does not agree to cooperate, and the duration of the detention is no longer reasonable, the detention is unlawful. Depending on the jurisdiction, an unlawful detention could be charged as false imprisonment, oppression under color of authority, a civil rights violation, or even kidnapping if the person is moved from the original location.
