Suicide is actually not formally illegal in any US State (in some it's "informally" illegal as a common law crime, but it's use under that category is for resolving bureaucratic issues and not actually jailing suicidal people). To the best of my knowledge no one has been jailed for suicide alone in a very very long time.

People getting "locked up" also is not a common response to a suicide hotline call. Depending on the service and the case itself,  the police may be dispatched, and if they suspect you're likely to commit suicide (i.e extremely distressed, mentally disturbed, etc) they will detain you and transfer you to a psychiatric hospital who will put you on a 24-hour watch. While this sounds harsh, this is often the only way to prevent many suicides, as often the victim is so internally distressed reason alone will simply not work.

Of course, you do hear about the occasional case where a person called because they had been having suicidal thoughts and just needed someone to talk to to get help/calm down, and then ended up getting detained by overzealous police, but I'd say this is a necessary side-effect of the system.

I think things could be improved a bit if there was some more organization to the various help lines, perhaps a line for depression resources only (excluding acute suicide threats), and then a line for those who are experiencing a suicidal crisis. That way the people who are "calm" but just experiencing a very severe low can get help without worrying about being treated as an immediate suicide threat, and the people who are actually in the middle of debating suicide can get help from the other line. There are a lot of help centers out there, some of which specialize in non-crisis cases and vice-versa, but often their purpose blends which can be discouraging to people.
