Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday called the jail conditions of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman inhumane, while vowing to bring down violence stemming from drug violence by create a society less obsessed with material wealth.
Guzman will spend the rest of his days behind bars in the
United States after a judge sentenced him on Wednesday to life in
prison plus 30 years.
Lopez Obrador said at his regular morning conference that sentences like the one for El Chapo - "a sentence for life in a hostile jail, hard, inhumane" - made a life no longer worth living.
