 Instead the prison board ruled during a disciplinary hearing held on Tuesday that Manning will face 21 days of restrictions on her recreational activities, including no access to a gym, a library or the outdoors. — Chelsea Manning (@xychelsea) August 18, 2015 
 
 She was charged with disrespect of a prison officer and accused of having books and magazines, including Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan, among other offenses. According to Manning other items confiscated from her cell included the memoir I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, a novel featuring trans women called A Safe Girl to Love, the LGBT publication Out Magazine, the Caitlyn Jenner issue of Vanity Fair and a copy of Cosmopolitan that included an interview with Manning. Manning's lawyer, Chase Strangio of the American Civil Liberties Union, confirmed the restrictions to USA TODAY via an e-mail and said Manning is grateful to her supporters, but added that it sets a "concerning precedent" that Manning had to face the disciplinary board for four hours without counsel. "Not only does the punishment mean the immediate loss of library and recreation for Chelsea, but she also will carry these infractions through her parole and clemency process and will be held longer in the more restrictive custody where she is now incarcerated," Strangio wrote. Was expecting to be in min custody in Feb, now years added 
 
 “No one should have to face the lingering threat of solitary confinement for reading and writing about the conditions we encounter in the world. Chelsea's voice is critical to our public discourse about government accountability and trans justice and we can only preserve it if we stay vigilant in our advocacy on her behalf." “It was no doubt this support that kept [Chelsea] out of solitary confinement,” said Strangio. Manning was accused of “disrespect”, “disorderly conduct” and other violations under the rules of the Fort Leavenworth prison in Kansas where she is serving her sentence.
– Chelsea Manning has been banned from going outside or using the Fort Leavenworth prison library for 21 days after being found guilty of prison infractions including having an expired tube of toothpaste and the Caitlyn Jenner issue of Vanity Fair. The punishment is minor compared to the indefinite solitary confinement she could have been sentenced to, but her ACLU lawyer tells USA Today that the Army private will "carry these infractions through her parole and clemency process and will be held longer in the more restrictive custody where she is now incarcerated." The lawyer says it sets a "concerning precedent" that Manning wasn't allowed to have legal counsel during the hearing, which lasted four hours. The "convictions will follow me thru to any parole/clemency hearing forever. Was expecting to be in min custody in Feb, now years added," said a tweet from Manning's official account. Ahead of the hearing, a petition with more than 100,000 signatures seeking the dismissal of the charges was dropped off at the Army liaison office in Congress, and Manning's lawyer says it was that support that kept her from getting solitary, the Guardian reports.
