Elizabeth Holmes’ 11-year prison sentence shortened by two years

Release date changed to 2032, records show, but reasons for change are unclear

Elizabeth Holmes’ prison sentence was quietly shortened by two years, new records show.

An update to Holmes’ profile on the website of the Bureau of Prisons now projects her release date as 12 December 2032, two years sooner than initially scheduled. A spokesman for the federal agency confirmed the update but said he could not comment further citing “privacy, safety, and security reasons” for inmates.

Holmes had reported to a minimum-security, federal women’s prison camp located in Bryan, Texas, on 30 May after being convicted in November 2022 on four counts of defrauding investors and sentenced to 11 years and three months. Her new date of release means she will instead serve about nine years and seven months.

behavior. The projected release date is just reflecting that -- which is why it is a PROJECTION. If she isn't well behaved, the projection will change to reflect her missed opportunities.

Yes, you get a big beggar thing that pops up on top that one has to click to dismiss. And yes after scrolling through the article, there's a another beg with a guilt-tripping "you have read 21 articles this year" or whatever. But they are free and one doesn't have to register, and I don't know of any advantage to registering.

They are a good progressive publication.

Thanks for the post
