Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My son has been in jail for 43 days in Florida. He has not been charged. What would he need to do to bring this to the attention of the court? Will he be released with no charges or record of being arrested?

Normally, a person should be released if charges are not filed within 33 days. The state can file an extension, but your son should be released on his own recognizance.
