i think it uses the same amount of AP no matter how long you're in jail for. there are, however, certain limits to the amount of time you are capable of busting. this is based on your "toughest bust" as far as i know, and possibly your level too.

if the amount of time in the sentence is significantly higher then your toughest bust then forget it lol.

this is based on observation, so there may be more to it than i understand.
