Jen Shah & Elizabeth Holmes: Prison Pals

It's April 1st, from red carpets to breaking stories, this is entertainment and celebrity

news powered by AI.

Jinsha, the former real housewives of Salt Lake City Star, just opened up about her unlikely

prison friendship with Elizabeth Holmes, the fallen, biotech boss.

They bonded as high-profile inmates at a federal camp in Bryan, Texas and got hit with the

worst job together, poop duty, scrubbing bathrooms after, others messed them up.

Shah pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy back in 2022 and got 78 months, but she served

just 33 before heading to a halfway house in December 2025.

Holmes started her 11-year fraud sentence in May 2022 and the two shared a unit for

Shah's last 10 months.

Picture this, if bathrooms weren't spotless after three warnings, inmates like them had

to sit on the metal chair for an hour, watching everyone go, and jumping up to clean or

yell at folks to fix it.

Shah said she nearly dodged it, but their spot got nailed, turning misery into a tight connection.

They walked evenings, venting about missing family and plotting prison reform ideas post-release.

Shah even took on a mom-like role, giving Holmes advice and holding her baby.

Now out and reflecting, Shah's story shows how rock bottom can spark real change in wild

bonds that stick.
