I'm going to ignore this comment until you respond to the actual facts of Manning's treatment instead of babbling about "bad food".

lol, I am rolling on the floor laughing. Almost a year....my brother was in solitary confinement for almost two years, maybe longer. In the US solitary confinement isn't what you think, yes you get privileges taken away from you, like you don't get television, radios, your food comes on a cart is often cold which ads to the displeasure of the garbage they feed them, though her being in a federal prison the food was probably better, you are shackled for visits and when taken outside your cell for showers and yard time. Yard time is restricted to one hour a day in a small screened in area, which is next to another screened in area where you can talk to someone. On the other hand in your cell you can still talk with other inmates next to you, usually in a awkward position like near venting or a pipeline running through your cell. They also have room under their door that after guard checks they write notes to each other then slips them from one cell to the next, they have a term they call it, I'll have to ask him next time I talk to him. Your family can still write you letters, order you books and magazines, like I order my brother lots of puzzle magazines to keep his mind occupied, not to mention they can also still order books from the prison library. After several months you are still considered a level five solitary confinement but you earn back your television and radio so it doesn't necessarily mean he spent the whole two years without those items, earning them back means you don't give the guards a hard time when they are transporting you around, be acting all crazy, like some guys will spread feces all around in their cells or call the guards names when they walk by. Chelsea was practically famous, I am sure she got all kinds of letters, probably cash in her account from people she never heard of, though in solitary you don't get to order goods but it sure did come in handy when she would have gotten out of solitary, had lawyers coming and going...none which ever came out and said she was being tortured, plus if I recall right they ordered the prison system to give her transgender surgery....outrageous considering that prison inmates have to pay five bucks every time they go see a prison doctor if they have money in their accounts. Torture in the true sense it's not and is demeaning to anybody who has ever suffered and/or died from real torture.
If your are wondering what earned him that bit, he killed his bunkie in another prison.
