Statute of Limitations for Parole Hearing

My son is being held in the local jail for a parole violation (he left town without PO officers permission), and is awaiting a parole viotation hearing, but none is scheduled at this time. How long can they hold him before they either schedule a hearing or release him? Thanks.
