Leavenworth prison may be where Bradley Manning, the former Army private, will serve his 35 year sentence for being found guilty of leaking over 700,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks, his lawyer said. Leavenworth prison in Kansas houses numerous notorious inmates.

Fort Leavenworth, located in northeast Kansas, has three prisons: a medium-security federal penitentiary, the military Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility, and the United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB) - where Manning will serve time, RT reports.

The USDB is the U.S. military's only maximum-security facility and houses male service members convicted by court-martial for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, The Christian Post reports.

Only prisoners with sentences over 10 years, commissioned officers, and prisoners convicted of offenses related to national security are confined to the USDB, the website notes.

The prison has notorious inmates, including Staff Sgt. Robert Bales resides, after being convicted of killing 16 Afghan civilians during nighttime raids in 2012, RT reports.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who is currently on trial for killing 13 of his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009, could soon join the list of inmates at Leavenworth prison, according to RT.

Manning's lawyer, David Coombs, said he is "hoping" that Fort Leavenworth "would do the right thing" and provide hormone therapy for Manning, The Inquisitr reports. "If Fort Leavenworth does not, then I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure they are forced to do so."

Coombs is referring to the recent statement made by Manning to TODAY: "I am Chelsea Manning. I am female ... Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition."

Manning continued in the statement: "I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun ... I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back."
