Elizabeth Holmes, who was convicted because of federal charges of fraud, says prison is “hell and torture.”

The Embattled Theranos founder who inspired a hit Hulu -Show “The Dropout” with actress Amanda Seyfried opened up her new life in a People Magazine Interview Published Wednesday.

“It’s surreal. People who have never met me believe so strongly at me. They don’t understand who I am. It is forcing you to spend a lot of time questioning faith and hoping the truth will prevail, “Holmes told People. “I go by faith and ultimately the truth, but it’s been hell and torture to be here.”

In November 2022, after pleading guilty, California’s former biotechnology entrepreneur was sentenced to 11 years and three months to scam investors in the failed Silicon Valley Start Theranos trying to revolutionize the blood test. Later, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Records showed that her verdict had an updated release date on December 23, 2032, two years earlier than expected.

“I’m not the same person I was then,” Holmes told People. Although she has never admitted any wrongdoing beyond her guilty plea, the former founder told the outlets that “there are things I would have done differently” added that “so many of these women (in prison) have no one, and have no one, and Once they are in there they are forgotten.

She also teased life after prison and told people she is planning to go in for the reform of criminal justice in America.

“People are not made to be in cells,” she says. “It’s going so far beyond understanding. I’m trying really hard to not tear up right now. I’m trying to grow, which every moment matters. And if a person’s life can be touched matters.”

“This will be the work of my life,” she added. People Magazine Cover -Photos were recycled from May 2023 The pre-fison profile in the New York Times entitled “Liz Holmes wants you to forget Elizabeth,” which is liable for controversy.

It “breaks my world every single time,” Holmes said. “The people I love most must go away while I stand here, a prisoner, and my reality sinks in.”

“It kills me to put my family through pain that I do,” Holmes added. “But when I look back on my life, and these angels that have come into it, I can get through everything. It makes me fight for it all.”
