Former Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes says she is working to clear her name while serving a prison sentence for fraud convictions tied to her failed blood-testing company.

In a social media post, Holmes said she was "silenced for a long time. And then imprisoned."

Holmes wrote that she is fighting to prove her innocence and return home to her partner Billy Evans and their two kids.

"I have now been imprisoned for 1,216 endless days and nights," Holmes wrote. "During that time, as we fight for freedom, my loved ones have helped manage my account. Billy is one of the people carrying that responsibility for me. He fights fiercely for me and our family. I love him beyond space and time."

She says that as of now any posts on her social media marked with her initials, EAH, are her own words.

"I am profoundly grateful for the support we receive as we fight to expose the truth and challenge deeply entrenched perceptions," she also wrote.

Holmes was originally sentenced in 2022 to 11 years and 3 months in prison for defrauding investors with false claims about her company's blood-testing technology.

Her sentence has since been reduced to 10 years and 3 months, and she is now scheduled to be released on Feb. 22, 2030. According to the Victim Notification System, upon her release, Holmes will reside in Austin, Texas, and be supervised by the United States Probation Office there.

Her comments come ahead of the release of a new documentary about her. The film, titled "You Can See Everything," is scheduled to be released in October.

The documentary was produced by comedian Nathan Fielder, who moved in with Holmes and her family in the weeks before she was sent to prison.

ABC News reports Holmes has been approved for placement in a community correction center, or halfway house, and is scheduled to be placed there next year.
