Chelsea Manning will soon be free. 

White House officials say she'll be released from prison May 17. The former Army intelligence analyst was sentenced to 35 years in prison before having her sentence commuted in January by former president Barack Obama. 

She was convicted for stealing nearly a million pages of documents and videos that were handed over to Wikileaks.
