Disgraced biotech company founder is now due to be released in August 2032, two years and four months before original date
Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former chief executive of the blood-testing company Theranos, has had her federal prison sentence shortened again, new records show.
The 40-year-old Holmes is now scheduled for release on 16 August 2032 from a federal women’s prison camp in Bryan, Texas, according to the US Bureau of Prisons website.
Holmes’s sentence was reduced by more than four months, as her previous release date was set for 29 December 2032.
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons confirmed Holmes’s amended sentence to the Guardian but said he could not comment further due to “privacy, safety and security reasons” for inmates.
This is the second time that Holmes has had her sentence shortened. In July, was reduced by two years.
People incarcerated in the US can have their sentences shortened for good conduct and for completing rehabilitation programs, such as a substance abuse program.

I mean certainly that’s true to some extent.
But people get their sentences reduced all the time, for lots of reasons.
There’s just not a headline every time it happens to a poor person.
How much of this is just a bias of awareness?
You make a fair point.
It just felt like a good place to drop a little social commentary from my favorite author
He was truly a treasure.
You’re making me want to reread all of the books. GNU, Terry Pratchett.
