Elizabeth Holmes: Federal Prison Do's and Don'ts

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, was found guilty of fraud charges and sentenced to 135 months in federal prison. As of now, she is due to surrender to the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan Texas on April 27th 2023.
In this video, we'll be discussing the dos and don'ts for Elizabeth Holmes in federal prison.
In prior videos in our series, I have covered her:
First Day in Federal Prison
Jobs in Federal Prison
Life in Federal Prison
And more!
Elizabeth Holmes certainly has a long journey ahead of her. Her initial goal should include not making matters worse. She can get on track and make the most of the federal prison experience by avoiding problems in federal prison.
Problems include using others, not doing her prison job, informing on other prisoners, complaining, thinking she is better than others, and so on. The pitfalls are endless.
For the sake of her victims and family, I hope she uses her time in prison wisely.

[@scottbridge9391]

The big problem is Elizabeth Holmes is a psychopathic personality. All of the recommendations you mentioned depends on being able to feel remorse or understand what the consequences of what your actions will be. It means having a conscious, something a psychopath doesn't have. When someone is psychopathic, it's unlikely she'll take or act on any of these tips and even if she does, they'll be means of manipulation for her, as this is what psychopaths do. They're all about manipulating others, using others. She probably will never accept responsibility for her crimes.

I wonder if she'll finally figure out that her faux baritone voice is of no use to her. I would love to be able to say that I have no axes to grind here, but in all honesty, it really torques me that she chose to bring two children into the world, knowing that she was facing the possibilities of criminal convictions and a prison sentence. As a father, I detest that kind of selfishness.

[@Williamb612]

So here is a question Justin: Elizabeth is famous and everyone inside that prison is already going to know that she comes from a wealthy privileged background. I imagine this can cut two ways a. she is despised by many for being the “rich” girl who probably will have many lawyers and others coming and going regularly, may give the impression of being highly privileged on the inside. b. Some will want to make best friends with her in hopes of getting a piece of her fame and fortune. Both of these scenarios will probably emerge in tandem creating a kind if cultural schism… So what are the longer term ramifications of those 2 scenarios intersecting?

[@tbforester]

I would like to know the answer to that as well, Justin!

[@pearlsr1880]

Yes, very good question. Please explain Justin

[@jayneweaver8695]

Great commentary and perspective, inspiring the steps you took and your willingness to share so openly. Love your idea of having merit-based release for less time IF the victims are made whole consistently and fully. A woman moved here, small town USA, she openly told us her spouse embezzled over $3mm from his company as a top executive, fake invoicing, etc. and in federal prison. She (his mouthpiece) wrote an article stating restitution should be waved so she, the perpetrator could start over. Wow, imo THAT is why ppl have such poor opinions of the system.

Yes, but do not expect her to. Just like Balwani, she will file an appeal at the last minute to overturn the judge's decision to deny her request to remain free as her conviction appeal is being resolved. She still believe that will save her from prison. So she will be granted another month of freedom. I am certain her lawyers, when this appeal is denied, will straight face asked for a surrender date far in the future.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

You're welcome!

[@kims8317]

You're such a good person. The only reason I found your channel was because I, like so many, found myself obsessed with the whole Elizabeth Holmes saga from the time she was indicted ... probably even from earlier than that, when I saw her picture on the cover of Forbes. So, if it weren't for that, I would have had no reason whatsoever to watch videos about prisons, prisoners, prison reform, et cetera. But I've found myself watching a few of your different videos, even ones unrelated to Elizabeth, and it is clear to me that you have turned a bad mistake into a powerful and meaningful mission to help others who have fallen from grace. I agree with what you say here. I believe she has made mistakes, and bad ones ... including choosing to get pregnant after she'd been indicted and then get pregnant a second time after being convicted. This is unfair to those children, and that is a choice she made, a terrible risk she took. BUT I pray that she will learn from this and come back from it a better, stronger person. I pray her children and her partner will be okay. I have prayed for (and continue praying for) her family through these difficult times. I pray for Sunny Balwani, too. Yes, I think he was a bit high on himself after his success in another industry, and he came to think he was above others, above the law. I pray he will learn from this and come out of it a healthier, more humble person like you have. You are such a good person. That is clear in all these videos. Maybe, some day, with the right decisions going forward, people will say the same about Sunny and Elizabeth. Everyone deserves redemption if they change themselves for the better.

[@donnafromnyc]

Thank you for this Kims.. You've said so eloquently my thoughts about Justin's videos and work.

It’s HARD TO GET IN JAIL OR PRISON! The Government doesn’t want WORK! They don’t want business. Believe me. Almost all of the offenders were 3rd and 4th, or more offenders. Of course, all us humans make bad, dumb, and selfish decisions - but by the time a person has been caught, tried by some lazy or disinterested judge, and finally sentenced…. They are waaay past the “mistake” phase. They are habitual offenders, who seem to believe they won’t get consequences.

I wish i would've known about this channel before i surrendered myself to federal prison back in 2012. I had a really hard time adjusting. I was a totally square medical professional who made a mistake, became addicted to narcotics and got caught with my hand in the candy jar. I had no idea that would get the DEA involved. What a wake up call. Ms White privledge got humbled very quickly. Suddenly i was a federal prisoner. But, it was the best thing that could've happened to me. Completely changed my life. Sobered me up. But it was not an enjoyable experience. I had no idea how to act. But i complained about everything at first, and the other women did not like me. I realize i was too negative, and nobody needed any more negatively. I saw so many injustices. I fucked up and deserved to be there, but so many women had such long sentences for small drug crimes. The feds don't give one fuck about handing out time. Doesn't matter if you have kids, if you have nobody to take care of them for you. They have no sympathy. It was very sad to see so many women lose their children. And my petty whining didn't help. So it taught it a lot

Another thing i learned going to federal court: all the judge and prosecutors want to hear is that you #1: take responsibility for your crimes. #2: contrition. You had at least better act like you are sorry and acknowledge the victims to your crime. That was the only thing that saved my ass from getting a long sentence...i took responsibility from the moment i was first interviewed by the DEA and apologized to the doctor who's prescription pad i stole. That knocked off at least a year of my time

[@chrissyblackwell6680]

The difference between Elizabeth, Holmes, and other criminals is that she still feels she’s done no wrong. She has no remorse. No sympathy for what she has done therefore, until I see that come from her, she should not have any extended to her.

[@ronmortimer252]

I like what the apostle Paul said in Phillipians "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." He spent a lot of time in prison too. It's a great goal to aim for because it helps us get over ourselves in our journey toward spiritual progress.

[@thomasbrennan6303]

Throughout the Theranos saga as it began with John Carryrou's reporting, I fully indulged in the schadenfreude of Elizabeth Holmes getting her comeuppance. I felt the frustration as she delayed her sentence, desperately trying to squirm out of the trap, and no small degree of outrage when she chose to bring two children into this world largely as pawns for her own preservation (naming one "Invicta" -- unconquered). I felt gleeful when she finally reported to prison. It restored my faith in our penal system, where too often, privileged young white women are treated too favorably. But then, I thought about 11 years. That's a long time. That's her entire 40's, the prime of a career, the prime of parenthood. She won't ever get to experience that pivotal era of modern human life. The photos of her reporting to prison, red-faced (she appears to be crying or having done so recently), no makeup, simply dressed and slightly hunched over in what I imagine is nervousness and fear. 11 years in prison. Her crime, really, for stealing money from rich people. While I don't feel sorry for her (she seems obstinately and incorrigibly unaccountable for herself) I don't feel glee anymore. I am now beginning to feel that 11 years is overly harsh.

I followed the Chrisley s case and another high profile case and despite the odds being against them for winning an appeal. Something like 95% don’t win their appeals they still hold onto that. I guess when I think about it, it’s got to be a mental saving face maneuver. At last ditch effort to protect yourself from total devastation. The lawyers just want to click hours. Im a little embarrassed for Elizabeth Holmes because the things she is asking the judge for because she is a mother and such. You are trying to put out the message … when you get to prison … everyone is on the same level. There is no special deals based on family status, skin color, wealth. I don’t care really what happens to her or Jen Shah. The Chrisley’s , I feel got too much of a sentence.

[@mikerundle6014]

Justin, if ONLY Elizabeth had contacted you for advice before going to prison, her time would be a lot less daunting - she would avoid the pitfalls that await!. She has no privilege in prison and will soon find out the hard way - this is real! I would not like to bet in her shoes now,!

[@donnafromnyc]

Justin, there is a monetary restitution for both Holmes and Balwani to be agreed on (still before Judge Davila) and it's an impossible number in the hundreds of millions. How is that assessed while still in prison? Also for Holmes, while in prison wiĺl she come to some kind of personal reckoning with the suicide of the man who was co-author on a number of her patents, lab director, and chief scientist, Ian Gibbons? Will she take responsibility for some of the actions that led to his death?

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

To $, the restitution can be resolved while she’s in prison. In some instances, clarity didn’t happen until after the prison term ended. It’s too bad they couldn’t resolve it by sentencing-they had enough time. If there’s no $ owed (yet), she won’t have to pay FRP (financial responsibility program). To reckoning, I’m alone on this one: in time, I think, it will happen. Could be many years.

[@donnafromnyc]

​@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial Thank you for this clarification. Neither she nor Sunny will be able to pay $ restitution in their lifetimes unless they win the lottery after they are out. FYI, Theranos vendor debtors have sued her individually for about $25 million as she signed a bunch of personal notes while still CEO. She was served before one of the last court sessions. And as to Gibbons...I fall on the opposite side of you. She will never come to the moral realization that she was a factor in his taking his own life (others were a lawsuit and his own battle with colon cancer). She expressed no sympathy at the time and I would be amazed if she came to Jesus in Bryan. And even then, I'd be wondering if it would be for real.

@@donnafromnyc she is a sociopath, so right. She doesn’t think about that person except to clarify in her own mind that he was weak, flawed. She can’t even admit to herself that she just doesn’t care.

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

As an Australian, I am gobsmacked about severity of sentencing in the USA for even relatively minor offences e.g. driving under the influence. Prison is never a deterrent and never restitutive. If EH were in Australia, she might have gotten 5 years or so. But since so many prisons are privately run, I guess it is up to justice system to keep them full to ensure jobs for the boys and lots of profits for the corporations that run these prisons. That said, I have no sympathy for EH. She was and remains a narcissist with no empathy for others. She hurt many people as a result of her deception and deserves incarceration for a few years for sure and she should never be permitted to be a director of company again.

We warehouse a lot of non violent people in this country for sentences that are far too long.

[@donnafromnyc]

I believe both sentences are too long for what they did. Holmes was not convicted on patient harm. Balwani may have been convicted on one count. The tech was fortunately not in the marketplace long enough to create significant patient harm. And if they had...they should have received at least 15 years. And when it comes to restitution--the losses have long since been written off. The small investors deserve a payback but many of them went after Theranos before it went out of business and won some payback.

[@beachbum1523]

Well, Elizabeth has been abiding in the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas for the past three months. There may not be any fences at the camp, but I dare say she's spent the hottest three months of her life, and the thought of trying to leave hasn't crossed her mind!

[@donnafromnyc]

What is the over/under on Elizabeth Holmes surviving her 11 years without another prisoner deciding to 1) mess up her face or 2) turning her into room temperature?

[@PungiFungi]

Elizabeth Holmes is the kind of person who is counting on others who will feel empathy toward her just so she will not pay for the price of her own actions. It would be interesting if she dropped the wide eye stare and deep voice once she is in prison. And if she writes a blog, which is doubtful as we have yet heard anything from her that is genuine and given how she is a proven pathological liar, it would be either be all lies or endless rantings on how she is unjustly incarcerated. I can safely said we will not hear a peep from her in prison other than the occasional endless appeal that her lawyers will file for her. I am certain she will bring it all the way to the Supreme Court if she needed to.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

She’s paying the price. And it’s only about to accelerate.

[@chetyoubetya8565]

You know why none of this advice will work for her it's because she feels to her core she did nothing wrong.

I've always assumed she won't do much more than a year or very little time- certainly not 11 years.

[@Jack209]

I think she’ll delay it by another month by pulling the same move as Balwani. I’d put her prison start in early June if I had to guess.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Soon we know.

[@Jack209]

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial She did. It won’t buy her much time though. If I were her, I’d use that bought time productively to prepare for the road ahead. But knowing her, she probably thinks she’ll win the appeal to the 9th circuit and doesn’t have to worry about going to prison. So she’ll lean into “I’ll prevail on appeal” for a month just like Balwani and her skull will be smashed into a wall when her appeal gets denied and she has no more delay tactics left. By that point it’ll be too late to prepare.

[@teresathayn5170]

Delaying inevitable

[@crixuscrucifixus6218]

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial Why delaying it when she might as well just get it over with as soon as possible so she can actually be free to be with her kids when they are 11/12 years old? Even 6-12 months difference is a big deal to children in their formative years. Being there for your kids when they are 11 years old seems more important than being there when they are 6 months old and won't even remember that time of their life.
