Race Riot

Prison Killers, Book 1

By: Glenn Langohr

Narrated by: Lucas D. Smith

Race Riot is a short-form prison memoir drawn from the author's time inside California's maximum-security facilities during a period marked by racial tension, gang politics, and repeated lockdowns.

Serving a decade behind bars, Glenn Langohr recounts how segregation policies, inmate alliances, and underground economies created a fragile balance that could collapse into yard-wide unrest with little warning.

Rather than glorifying conflict, Race Riot documents the environment that produces it and the discipline required to survive within it.

Part of the Life in Lockdown prison memoir series.
