In January 2017, a Justice Department source said that Manning was on President Obama's short list for a possible commutation. [210] On January 17, 2017, President Obama commuted all but four months of Manning's remaining sentence. [8] [211] In a press conference held on January 18, Obama stated that Manning's original 35-year prison sentence was "very disproportionate relative to what other leakers have received" and that "it makes sense to commute—and not pardon—her sentence." [211] [212] In 2021, Forbes reported that Obama's commutation of Manning's sentence was "unconditional". [213] Notwithstanding her commutation, Manning's military appeal would continue, with her attorney saying, "We fight in her appeal to clear her name." [214] She also hoped the rigours of military life would quell her gender dysphoria; “thinking it’s better to try to tamp down on that, which is basically what most trans people did in the early 2000s.” And it did die down, under the weight of the crushing physical demands of basic training.

[329] At the hearing, held on September 22, she was sentenced to 14 days in solitary confinement, with seven of those days suspended indefinitely. [330] Manning emerged from solitary confinement on October 12, after serving seven days; she said that she was not given the opportunity to appeal the ruling before being placed in solitary. [331] Also that month, Cosmopolitan published the first interview with Manning in prison, conducted by mail. Cosmo reported that Manning was optimistic about recent progress but said that not being allowed to grow her hair long was "painful and awkward ... I am torn up. I get through each day okay, but at night, when I'm alone in my room, I finally burn out and crash." Manning said it was "very much a relief" to announce that she is a woman and did not fear the public response. "Honestly, I'm not terribly worried about what people out there might think of me. I just try to be myself." According to Cosmo, Manning had her own cell with "two tall vertical windows that face the sun", and could see "trees and hills and blue sky and all the things beyond the buildings and razor wire". Manning denied being harassed by other inmates and claimed some had become confidantes. [318] Writing The price of achieving a fame you never asked for means it’s unclear what exactly people like about you: Is it your activism, the inspiring story of how you went through hell to reveal the horrors of U.S. imperialism, or simply the fame itself — that you’re well-known, successful, and trans? For many people here, it seems to be the latter, or at least a confusing combination of all of the above.
