A Typical Day For PFC Bradley Manning at Fort Leavenworth

PFC Manning was transferred to the Joint Regional Corrections Facility (JRCF) at Fort Leavenworth on April 20, 2011. I was able to tour the facility and meet with PFC Manning last week. PFC Manning is now being held in Medium Custody. He is no longer under Prevention of Injury watch and is no longer subjected to harsh pretrial confinement conditions.

Unlike at Quantico, PFC Manning cell has a large window that provides adequate natural light. His cell also has a desk, a bed, and a toilet. The cell is approximately 80 square feet. He is provided with a normal mattress, sheets and a pillow. None of his clothing is taken away from him at night. PFC Manning is able to have all of his personal items in his cell, which include his clothing, his legal materials, books and letters from family and friends. He is also able to have a pen and paper at all times in his cell, and is able to write whenever he chooses.

PFC Manning is housed in a special area of the confinement facility, along with other pre-trial detainees. Each pre-trial area (including PFC Manning’s) has four cells, and each pre-trial detainee is assigned to his own cell. The cells are connected to a shared common area, with a table, a treadmill, a television and a shower area. Click here in order to see photos of the JRCF area.

A typical timeline for PFC Manning’s day (and those of all other pre-trial detainees) follows:

1. I'm glad he is being treated better.

However, he does not belong there in the first place; it should be Bush, Cheney, Rummy, etc. instead. Thanks for providing Manning's address -- I may write to him; I'm sure he could use some words of encouragement.

[EFerrari]

2. Agreed.

I probably will, too. :hi:

8. Wouldn't it be great if a Wikileaks leak led to finding Bin Laden?

14. Hello ....

Nice to see you:hug:

Heartfelt thanks for keeping us up to date on Bradley Manning.
This case is causing much distress, pain and disgust for many of us.
It's horrific.
He is indeed a hero, and I'm so thankful his situation is getting better.
As good as can be under the circumstances.
Now to let him free!

peace~
