How long can a jail hold you?
My partner has charges for robbery in 4 counties. And a
warrant. He is on hold in Milwaukee county jail. How long can they keep him
for? He has to do 7 days in brown deer for the warrant as well. Can they only
hold him for a week? Or does he have to go to all the counties?

Expanding on the answer you have above, the longest he could
be held in the worst case scenario for an armed robbery would be the maximum
sentence for that crime (assuming that he is convicted) which is at least 20
years. Add to the same amount for the other three robberies and the total could
be over 80 years. In a complex scenario like this, he needs experienced felony
lawyers in each county, who often can work together for a global resolution.
Either way, however, I would not be expecting him home for dinner any time
soon. If you really want to help him, quit asking questions on free public
websites and help him hire counsel.
