On Saturday, Manning's"support committee" said that she has been kept in her cell for 22 hours a day -- which they say constitutes solitary confinement."Chelsea can't be out of her cell while any other prisoners are out, so she cannot talk to other people, or visit the law library, and has no access to books or reading material," the committee, Chelsea Resists, said in a statement."She has not been outside for 16 days.
