Prison Killers

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.

The author spent 10 years inside the most violent prisons in California on drug charges. Lock Up Diaries is a depiction of life inside prison and a look at the political landscape between races and gangs. The Mexican Mafia, drug cartels, Aryan Brotherhood, and the Black gangs all collide. The amazing details of prison life - code words that prisoners use, explanations of how they communicate from cell to cell - really make you feel you have entered a different world, or like you are watching a movie about prison life.

It starts with a letter where B.J. struggles to allow his emotions to leave his prison cell in a search for his wife. Then the struggles to survive prison politics, where races are segregated and violence and gangs are the calling card, begin. Notorious mobster Bat has a hit out on him for not paying street taxes. The gun-tower guard Hernandez has a hit out on him for staging gladiator wars and B.J is faced with the problem of a race war in between. Mexican mafia in motion behind bars. Relentless action from the underground never before seen or imagined! Based on true stories.

Underdog is a prison memoir centered on California’s Pelican Bay State Prison and the realities of long-term solitary confinement within a supermax environment.

Serving time on drug-related charges, Glenn Langohr found himself caught between rival inmate factions as racial tension and gang politics escalated into full-yard lockdowns. What began as shifting alliances quickly turned into a volatile environment where reputation, discipline, and restraint determined survival.
