On Tuesday, Holmes went to a federal facility in Bryan. She was with officials and she smiled. She wore a beige sweater, blue jeans, and glasses. She is 39 years old.

When she started her scam, she looked like a fancy CEO in a black turtleneck with red lips. But when she went to jail, she was wearing a plain outfit.

Holmes, a mother of two and married, entered a federal women's prison camp 100 miles northwest of her hometown. She laughed and smiled while speaking with her handlers. The prison camp is a minimum-security facility.

Her parents and husband Billy dropped her off in a Ford SUV. They said their goodbyes. She took her last walk as a free woman for the foreseeable future.

She arrived long after getting convicted in January 2022. She got convicted of fraud and conspiracy on four felony counts. She defrauded investors of $945 million. She got sentenced in November.

She felt grateful for the opportunity to enjoy some quality time with family before heading back to her duties as a handler.

. The prison camp is for female inmates within the minimum-security category. Holmes traveled from Houston to get to the prison camp in Bryan, Texas. She arrived at the federal prison camp safely.

It serves as a reminder that even those at the top are not above the law. The justice system will work to ensure accountability for all.

Holmes used the same legal tactic as her ex-boyfriend, Ramesh 'Sunny' Balwani. Sunny tried to avoid going to prison on March 16.

Holmes will have to go to prison on May 16th. She tried to avoid it, but the court said no. She was convicted of four counts of fraud and conspiracy in January 2022.

Holmes has been ordered to pay a $452 million restitution bill by Davila. The punishment also includes this amount. Davila ordered this ruling earlier in the month.

Lawyers for Holmes requested that Davila authorize a prison reporting time of May 30th. This would enable her to address multiple concerns, such as arranging child care for her children. The request aimed to give her a two-week window to handle these matters.
