Disgraced Theranos chief executive Elizabeth Holmes is in custody at a Texas prison where she could spend the next 11 years for overseeing a blood-testing hoax, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Holmes, 39, on Tuesday entered a federal women’s prison camp in Bryan, Texas — where the federal judge who sentenced Holmes in November recommended she be incarcerated.
