Holmes was once a celebrated figure in the tech world, but her fall from grace was swift and severe. She was sentenced in November 2022 to 11 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy, and ordered to pay a staggering $452 million in restitution to investors. Her crime? Deceiving investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars by fabricating claims about her blood-testing startup, Theranos. Holmes began serving her sentence on May 30, 2023.
According to Fox News, Holmes is currently held at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas, approximately 100 miles from Houston. She is permitted a few hours of visitation twice a week with her partner Billy Evans and their two young children, William and Invicta. "The people I love the most have to walk away as I stand here, a prisoner, and my reality sinks in," the 41-year-old mother revealed in an interview with People, describing her life behind bars.

Holmes' company, once valued in the billions, was exposed for falsely claiming to have invented a machine capable of conducting complex tests with just a single drop of blood. Despite the damning evidence against her, Holmes, who pleaded not guilty at trial, maintains her innocence. "I’m not the same person I was back then," she said. "There are things I would have done differently. I refused to plead guilty to crimes I did not commit. Theranos failed. But failure is not fraud."

Holmes also commented on the Hulu series "The Dropout," which dramatizes the rise and fall of her company. She found the series "difficult" to watch, stating, "It’s surreal. People who have never met me believe so strongly about me. They don’t understand who I am. It forces you to spend a lot of time questioning belief and hoping the truth will prevail."

Holmes became a mother shortly before her trial began and had her second child just three months before starting her prison sentence. "I always wanted to be a mother," she confessed. "I truly did not think I would ever be convicted or found guilty." Her experience of trying to breastfeed her newborn while incarcerated led her to advocate for private breastfeeding spaces in prison, resulting in the creation of lactation rooms in 2023.

Holmes' interview was not just about her personal journey, but also about advocating for incarcerated individuals, particularly those separated from their children. Behind bars, she serves as a reentry clerk, assisting women who are about to be released to prepare for their freedom. She also teaches French classes and maintains a mostly vegan diet, although she began eating fish after becoming anemic during her first year in prison.

Despite her current circumstances, Holmes remains optimistic about her future. She is scheduled for release on April 3, 2032, and plans to continue her work in healthcare technology. "There is not a day I have not continued to work on my research and inventions," she said. "I remain completely committed to my dream of making affordable healthcare solutions available to everyone." This statement reflects her unwavering belief in her ability to contribute positively to society, despite the controversy that surrounds her.
