Why ? are you worried about your terrorist idols? if they are terrorists, then they should be held till it's proved one way or the other, it's not like they are suffering any deprivations, actually living better than they have a right to expect.

without being charged?
The answer is usually 24 hours, or the next business day (i.e. if you're arrested on Friday night you don't have to have an initial appearance or bail hearing usually until Monday morning, although many jails do bail hearings at a jail without a judicial officer to get people out sooner (less to feed and house).
(See, for example, the Pima County (Arizona) rules: http://www.sc.pima.gov/pretrial/default.htm )
After charging there are rules about how long the prosecution can go on before going to trial... in the federal system these are embodied in the "Speedy Trial Act," and most states have an equivalent.

without what? please do not post your question in your title. there is only so much space.
As for length of custody; it depends on the crime he/she is charged with, and what evidence the prosecution has against hte defendant, or if they are awaiting to hear from witnesses or to have witnesses appear.
there has never been an established "time" by the Supreme Court to say "this is too long to hold a person".
