Elizabeth Holmes Breaks Her Silence In First Interview From Prison

Convicted Theranos founder, Elizabeth Holmes, had her first interview since being reported to prison in 2023, telling People magazine that she is still working on 'research and inventions' in the healthcare space. Here's an excerpt from the article: Scheduled for release on April 3, 2032, Holmes says she hopes to travel with her family and to fight for reform of criminal justice system. She recently drafted an American Freedom Act bill -- a seven-page handwritten document -- to bolster the presumption of innocence and change criminal procedure. 'This will be my life's work,' says Holmes, adding that she is speaking out now as part of her mission to advocate on behalf of incarcerated persons and those ripped away from their children.

And, despite her global reputation as a biotech con artist who put lives at risk, she says she's continuing to write patents for new inventions and plans to resume her career in healthcare technology after her release. 'There is not a day I have not continued to work on my research and inventions,' she says. 'I remain completely committed to my dream of making affordable healthcare solutions available to everyone.'

For now, however, she is sustained by weekend visits from her family, when she can cuddle Invicta, watch William gather acorns in the prison yard and hold Evans's hand and briefly hug and kiss. (Conjugal visits are not allowed.) 'It kills me to put my family through pain the way I do,' she says. 'But when I look back on my life, and these angels that have come into it, I can get through anything. It makes me want to fight for all of it.'
