Manning doing well at military prison, thankful for support - lawyer
Chelsea Manning [formerly Bradley Manning] is doing well after arriving at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth to serve out her 35-year sentence, her lawyer reported. ● Manning’s lawyer David Coombs wrote on his blog that he spoke with Manning on Wednesday, their first interaction since her sentencing last week. Manning is currently subject to an “indoctrination” period at Fort Leavenworth United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB) in which new inmates are given information on the facilities and opportunities at the prison. “I am happy to report that she is doing very well at the USDB, and has already made several friends who accept her for who she is,” Coombs wrote.
