She had harmed SO many people and blown through the billion dollars she raised through her lies. She needs to serve her time like anyone else.

I’m glad she started serving her sentence. It will be really hard for her kids to spend 11 years visiting her in jail.
I suspect she will be transferred to the facility in California when there is space.

I guess I sound judgmental saying this. Why did she have kids when she knew she was going to prison? I really don’t understand that part.

She was trying to game the system as always and never thought they’d ever actually put her in prison

You don’t understand because you would never use getting pregnant and having children as a pawn to think it would keep you out of prison.

@deb922 I admit it crossed my cynical mind.
@HImom By the time the second kid came around, it was pretty clear, wasn’t it? There will be very limited bonding with the baby. I wonder how that will work out.
There are tons of babies wirh one or both parents incarcerated. I think if Holmes had any conscience she wouldn’t have done this to her H or kids but by her prior actions, it’s pretty clear she does everything to benefit herself.
Maybe she wanted her hubby to think of her and not decide to find another spouse while she’s in prison for 11 years?

She got married in late 2019, when she was being investigated by the Feds. At that time she should have known she was almost certainly going to be indicted and likely getting jail time if convicted.
The whole image makeover cited in OP’s article - “I’m just a suburban wife and mom” - seems to have been planned from way back.

I do think she believed she’d never go to prison, but also that if she ever wanted children she had to have them when she did. She’s 39, so it wouldn’t be possible to wait until she got out of prison.
She’s definitely not special. I read that 60% of women in prison have (young?) children. I’m not sad for her, but I am for her children. I don’t now if her husband will take the children every weekend, or move closer to her prison, or buy a condo in the area, but it will definitely be a change to the way those babies are living.

Holmes’ H had to have had SOME idea of what he was in for when he met and married her, after all the notoriety. He was a willing partner in creating the children and I’m sure he will hire nannies, as he would have if Holmes was not in jail.
Holmes doesn’t strike me as maternal at all—she’s a narcissist from all I’ve read of her and totally ruthless. The kids are probably better off having limited contact with her toxicism.

I don’t think either of them ever thought she’d go to prison. No one thought Martha Stewart would go to prison. No one thought the Varsity Blues parents would go to prison.

Do people really think her husband is likely to “stand by her” if she’s in prison for the full time? I suspect he will get tired of it and move on.
she can run a “chance me” thread as to whether he’ll remain faithfully married for 10 years…50/50 odds at best
With her in jail for 11years, his family will have a chance to get him some excellent therapy and hopefully a divorce.

I didn’t realize he’s only 30 years old. Waiting 10 years for someone at such a young age might be more than he’s up to, depending. I guess time will tell.
It will probably come down how often she’s able to communicate with him. Her whole power over people is the ability to manipulate them. She’ll need regular verbal communication to keep control of him.
Do we know if they are for sure truly married? Not that it matters, but the reports are mixed.
I saw one report that ‘calls and facetime (type) communications were allowed and weekend visits’ but no idea if those are unlimited.
Cell phones are still illegal in most US prisons. I’d expect prisons would have strict rules about communications with outside world but don’t have first-hand knowledge and suspect there are variations among prisons.
