Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the blood-testing start-up Theranos, is expected to be transferred to a halfway house in August 2027. Holmes, who was convicted of fraud in 2022 and sentenced to 11 years, has been approved for the transfer, according to a Sept. 22 letter from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She will move from F.

P. C. Bryan, a minimum-security federal prison in Texas, to the Austin Transitional Center in Del Valle, Texas, on Aug. 23, 2027.

The letter indicated her scheduled release date is Feb. 22, 2030, though most prisoners stay in halfway houses only for a short time. Holmes has been serving her sentence since May 2023. It is unclear what prompted the transfer or how long she may stay at the halfway house.

Holmes’s sentence was already shortened several times, and she previously filed a request to have her sentence commuted by the Department of Justice. In recent weeks, Holmes has been back in the spotlight with the upcoming release of a documentary directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, called “You Can See Everything.” The film, distributed by A24, is described as an intimate portrait of Holmes and is set to be released on Oct. 16. Holmes has also become active on social media while in prison, posting about artificial intelligence, longevity, and the health care system, while making the unfounded claim that Theranos’s technology worked.
