Chelsea Manning, the transgender Army private convicted of leaking national security secrets, faces a hearing Tuesday for prison infractions that could result in solitary confinement.
Manning, who was intelligence analyst Bradley Manning when arrested in 2010, is charged with disrespect of a prison officer and is accused having books and magazines including Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan, among other offenses.
Noteable from the article, it is apparently "disrespect of an officer" to request a lawyer.

That's most certainly the case here.
However, it looks like in California, at least, prisoners have better medical coverage than insurance will provide [latimes.com].
So, who knows.
Anyhoo, looks like I'll be advising some trans women I know who can't access any healthcare even with insurance to take a road trip to California and kill a few random people….

Now now, let's not be hasty: I'm sure you could come up with a list of people who desperately deserve it.
