From Elizabeth Holmes playing with her children in a prison yard to Sean Combs feeding 1,000 inmates, America\u2019s most infamous figures marked the holidays in federal custody.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Disgraced celebrities and crooked business leaders serving time in federal prisons marked the start of the holiday season behind bars with Thanksgiving family reunions, holiday feasts and apparently acts of communal goodwill. At the low-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, dubbed \u201cClub Fed,\u201d former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes spent the holiday weekend with her husband, Billy Evans, and their two young children. The family gathered in the prison yard Friday afternoon, where Holmes, serving an 11-year sentence for defrauding investors, chatted with Evans across a picnic table as the children played nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holmes playfully swung her young son around and held her daughter. She even squeezed in a quick workout, grabbing dumbbells for bicep curls to maintain her fitness routine. The visit followed a similar outing the previous week; the family has made the trek regularly since Holmes reported to the camp in 2023. Her release is slated for 2032.<\/p>\n
Fellow inmates at Bryan, most notably Ghislaine Maxwell and Housewife Jen Shah,\u00a0 joined Holmes for the facility\u2019s \u201celaborate\u201d holiday spread, served around 11 AM. The menu featured turkey or ham, mashed potatoes with gravy, cornbread dressing, green beans, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls and pies, with vegetarian options including veggie stir fry and soy chicken. Maxwell, 63, serving a 20-year term for her role in Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s sex trafficking ring, dined with full plastic utensils. This is a perk that includes \u201csporks\u201d elsewhere in the federal system. This marked her fifth Thanksgiving incarcerated; she was transferred to Bryan from Florida this summer.<\/p>\n
Shah, the 51-year-old former \u201cReal Housewives of Salt Lake City\u201d star serving a reduced sentence for wire fraud, ate the same meal. Already a model prisoner mentoring others and leading fitness classes, Shah\u2019s latest good-conduct credits have advanced her release to December 10th.<\/p>\n
In New Jersey, Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs turned the holiday into a morale-boosting event for his fellow inmates at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, where he\u2019s serving a 50-month sentence for violating the Mann Act by transporting individuals for prostitution. Combs, 56, collaborated with an inmate group called the \u201cBankroll Bosses\u201d to fund and organize an upgraded feast for about 1,000 people, supplementing the prison\u2019s standard turkey roast, mashed potatoes, corn, chicken gravy, whole wheat bread and holiday dessert.<\/p>\n
Diddy reportedly paid for and helped cook over 1,000 Thanksgiving meals for fellow inmates at Fort Dix.<\/p>\n
