Glenn Langohr-Portrayed as B.J in Roll Call
"Those without sin cast the first stone" An excerpt from Roll Call where a district attorney's son is dealing drugs
Having served 10 years in California's most violent jails and prisons for drug charges, Langohr's Drug War and Prison books, Roll Call & A California Pelican Bay Prison Story, shed light on flaws within the criminal justice and prison system in regards to labeling defendants over hearsay from other criminals, relating to the 5 core demands the prisoner’s are striking over.
In one of Glenn Langohr's new books, Roll Call, he penetrates from an insider’s view, the practice of law enforcement utilizing informants who are also criminals to garner information, and then using that information to label defendants while setting the other criminal informant free. "This practice creates an injustice in many cases."
In Glenn Langohr's other new book, A California Pelican Bay Prison Story, Langohr illustrates life in California's prisons where low level drug addicts are bred into bigger criminals and an addiction is bred into an affliction much harder to escape where races are segregated and gangs and violence become the solution, spitting out displaced humans without any job placement.
Glenn Langohr's books are available on Amazon.
$4.99 on Kindle and $19.99 in paperback.
"A harrowing-down-and-dirty depiction of the U.S. War on Drugs, sometimes reminiscent of Solderburgh's movie Traffic, by former dealer, California artist Langohr. Locked up for a decade on drug charges and immersed in both philosophical tomes and modern pulp thrillers, Langohr penned Roll Call. A vivid, clamorous account of the war on drugs.”
