I mean, Manning is in jail because Manning chooses to be in jail. Manning had an immunity deal to testify in front of a grand jury and refused to do so, leading to the contempt of court charge that currently has her in jail.

She says she doesn't believe in the concept of being compelled to testify, which is fine, but the penalty for that is jail.



She is being held in solitary for 22 hours at a time. Isn't that a bit harsh for contempt of court?


Manning has been moved out of solitary confinement. https://thehill.com/homenews/437454-chelsea-manning-removed-...


depends upon the security stuff she holds secret...yes it sounds bad...but the other prisoners do not have security clearances and this the solution military justice came up with..is the best solution? probably not but tis the on they went with
