Flight risk is one. Type of crime is a factor. The deal made for testimony is another. You can likely get a person who is not a strong flight risk to cooperate much more quickly if you let them know they will stay out of jail for now, and their time could eventually be much less, if they cooperate. This isn't as much about wealth and power as it is about value as a participant in the process. It is very common.
