The reason why federal inmates say they committed their current offense to obtain money for drugs is because they get their sentence reduced for going to drug classes while incarcerated. For example, if you get arrested for a kilo of cocaine, you get a 5 year federal sentence. If you say you are a drug addict, and attend drug classes, you get 2 years of your sentence.
