  • Elizabeth Holmes Must Report to Prison

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 20 20:50:45 2023
    Elizabeth Holmes Must Report to Prison by May 30

    An appeals court denied her request to stay out on bail pending an
    appeal.

    Not current on female prisons, but I suspect her prison will be for
    "white" collar females.

    Elizabeth Holmes has surrendered to a federal prison in Texas to begin
    her 11-year sentence over the Theranos scandal which rocked the
    high-flying tech world of Silicon Valley.
    ...
    ...

    She was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison and ordered
    to pay $452m in restitution to investors - including $125m to media
    mogul Rupert Murdoch.

    Holmes had been given until 2pm local time to surrender to the prison
    camp where she will see out her 11-year sentence surrounded by other white-collar, non-violent female offenders.
    ...
    ...
    ...
    The prison camp, which runs a work-focused program where all inmates
    are required to hold a job for at least 90 days, is a marked
    difference from Holmes' life years earlier when she was seen as the
    darling of Silicon Valley.

    Former inmate at Elizabeth Holmes' prison describes what she'll see
    behind bars
    ...
    ...
    Holmes might have a humbling first job at the prison, according to a
    former inmate at the facility.

    "That is Bryan's rule," said Lynn Espejo, who was convicted of
    defrauding her employer. "The policy is that every new person arriving
    gets cleared by medical and they have to go work in the kitchen for 90
    days."

    That's not a guarantee, though. Holmes could get a job elsewhere, such
    as the prison's education department, and be excused from kitchen
    work, said Espejo, who now works as a prison reform advocate and was
    granted compassionate release in 2021 because of COVID-19.

    There is also a program in which inmates train service dogs at the
    facility, or Holmes could teach classes to other inmates, Espejo said.
