Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the now-defunct blood-testing company Theranos, has been approved for transfer to a halfway house as part of her federal prison sentence, according to a letter sent to victims of her fraud case. The letter, dated September 22 and issued by a Federal Bureau of Prisons unit manager, indicates Holmes is scheduled to move to the Austin Transitional Center in Del Valle, Texas, on August 23, 2027.

Holmes, 42, began serving her sentence in May 2023 at F.C.P. Bryan, a minimum-security federal prison camp for women located about 90 minutes northwest of Houston. She was convicted of fraud in 2022 and sentenced to 11 years in prison for deceiving investors and patients about Theranos’s blood-testing technology.

The transfer follows provisions under the First Step Act, a federal prison reform law enacted in 2018 that allows eligible inmates with low risk of reoffending to transition early to community-based supervision such as halfway houses. The length of Holmes’s stay at the halfway house remains unclear. According to the letter, her official release date is February 22, 2030, though most inmates spend a relatively brief period in such facilities.

Holmes’s prison term has been shortened multiple times. Last year, she submitted a request for a commutation of her sentence to the Department of Justice, although no decision was publicly announced. Officials from the Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on individual confinement details, citing privacy and security concerns.

Holmes’s case has drawn renewed public attention recently with the forthcoming release of a documentary titled “You Can See Everything.” The film, directed by comedian Nathan Fielder and filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, follows Holmes and her partner, tech worker Billy Evans, during the weeks prior to her incarceration. The distributor A24 described the documentary as “an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon.” It is scheduled for release on October 16.

In addition to the documentary, Holmes has maintained a social media presence while incarcerated, posting messages that she characterizes as “mostly my words, posted by others.”
