President Obama spoke at the NAACP annual convention. He addressed the
criminal justice system and called for shorter sentences for non-violent
drug offenders. The president noted that in the last few decades the
U.S. had locked up more non-violent drug offenders, pointing out that
African Americans and Latinos had been disproportionately affected. He
urged Congress to pass a sentencing reform bill by the end of the
year. In addition, he called for a review on solitary confinement and
urged voting rights to be granted to felons who had served their time.
