How long after 24 hrs if you haven't had any activity for charges or a bond and haven't been to gen pop can they hold you?

It depends on the charges and the bond.

It depends on the charges and the bond. They can hold you for a number of reasons without an "out date", citing "material witness", "pending new charges", "magistrate hold", "jurisdictional detainer" or a myriad of legal options they can use. Without us knowing what the original charge was, it is difficult to pin down the reason for certain.
