PFC Manning is currently being held in maximum custody. Since arriving at the Quantico Confinement Facility in July of 2010, he has been held under Prevention of Injury (POI) watch.

His cell is approximately six feet wide and twelve feet in length (= 1.80x3x60m).
(...)
PFC Manning is held in his cell for approximately 23 hours a day.

The guards are required to check on PFC Manning every five minutes by asking him if he is okay. PFC Manning is required to respond in some affirmative manner. At night, if the guards cannot see PFC Manning clearly, because he has a blanket over his head or is curled up towards the wall, they will wake him in order to ensure he is okay.

A prison should not be a luxury hotel, but this is not only hilarious, but is a way of mistreating somebody by a form of torture that tries to evade being labelled as torture.

You could as well put him into a coffin-sized box and put him on a drip to feed him, and lay a pipe for breathing air. Isn't it enough that he can breath, lives, and can move his fingers?
