U.S. Army Whistleblower Chelsea Manning has been denied access to a prison legal library just before a key hearing which could help determine whether she is placed in solitary confinement. Manning faces solitary for having “prohibited property” in her cell, including an expired tube of toothpaste and the Vanity Fair issue where transgender athlete Caitlyn Jenner talks about her new life living openly as a woman. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. Manning is serving a 35-year sentence for giving secret documents to WikiLeaks.
