This
review is from: ROLL CALL ~ A Prison List (True Prison Story) (Kindle
Edition)
I was very honored to have the author read one of my other
book review and asked if I would also read his. I agreed and it took me a good
three weeks, I read the Kindle version but it is equal to over 700 pages. To say
the least the book is intense.We have all seen movies of what life is like in prison. They pale when compared to this true life account. I must warn you up front the drug addiction, violence, and some sexual content may not be suitable for some readers. This is a step out of my usual type of read. My eyes have been opened. B.J. the main character (the author) has a very bad start in life and soon realizes he and his bother have to be on their own. Unfortunately he finds that selling drugs is the fastest way to make money. I must say as a young teen going to Mexico to make drug connections when he really had no idea what he was doing was quite a brave move but obviously the wrong one. He falls in with a bad crowd including the law who are working both sides of the fence. Makes one see why drugs are such a big problem when the law, the mafia, drug dealers mix. This is a very detailed account of how B.J. progresses into his life of crime. Your heart will be pounding during a big drug deal and the law chasing them down. You feel bad for the kid but know he is doing wrong. His first time in prison is a real eye opener. The crime inside the prison is as bad as it is outside. The racial wars and the hatred one group has for another is very disturbing. I learned a lot of prison language I had never heard before and was shocked right off in the communication system between prisoners. Through all of this you may be a bit overwhelmed but when you see that God has a plan for B.J. what you have hoped for all along it is a story of hope and redemption. This book would be a book to give teens who are starting to get in trouble, I do think with this picture to look at some may mend their ways. Sadly it seems a certain percent of people live to get into the prison system. Just about every emotion and life situation plays into this story. As I said it is a long read so I will not spoil the transformation part of his life it is a time of great happiness when you see the story change for the good. Again, it is graphic in nature do to the places and crimes involved. Thanks Glenn, these truths need to be out in the open and I hope many lives will be turned around by your willingness to share. |

The California Prison System houses a mixture of Mexican cartel members, Mexican mafia, Bloods, Crips, and thousands of other street gangs fighting for control and the author turns this story into a pulp thriller of true crime.

Drug war and Lock Up Diaries of prison stories only 99 cents this month!
ROLL CALL by Glenn Langohr 120,000 words/ 4 seasons- similar to Breaking Bad and Son’s of Anarchy with a redemptive twist. ISBN 978-1-4392-4608-5 14.99 paperback .99 kindle e-book
Roll Call shines a light at the dark, hidden underbelly of the U.S War on Drugs. The author takes the admonition from the Biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, “God doesn’t want you to eat of the tree of knowledge because he doesn’t want you to become as smart as him”, and relates it to the modern drug war, showing how the American justice system has turned illegal drugs into forbidden fruits; leading to a roller coaster ride through drug cartels, street gangs and outlaw bikers, all trying to get their piece of the action. Add a good detective squeezed out of the loop by an overzealous detective, a robust prison union calling bad shots, and a handful of drug criminals trying to find their conscience; and you have the perfect recipe for a revolutionary uprising; bound by blood, all leaving the reader wondering, who are the real criminals? Kirkus Discoveries- “A Master Director, modern pulp thriller- A harrowing down-and-dirty depiction of the War on Drugs, sometimes reminiscent of Solderburg’s Traffic, by former dealer, California artist Langohr”
Sequel to Roll Call- Upon Release- 70,000 words Blockbuster e-book 2.99
Overzealous Narcotic Detective Pincher, on paid leave and under investigation, starts using drugs, and then is hired again as a Narcotic Detective in L.A where he steals heroin from the evidence locker until he is reeled in by the Mexican Mafia and the Hollywood Madam.
B.J struggles not to look back at the Criminal Justice System that tried to kill him. Inspired to help prisoners turn their lives around through art, he works for the church helping orphans until he’s on the run again. Add a beautiful ballerina who marries B.J, a prison protest to help the voiceless, and the temptation to do a massive drug run from Mexico, and you have the perfect recipe for a Spiritual revolution, where compassion is missing, all leaving the reader wondering; who are the real criminals?
A California Pelican Bay Prison Story- 18,000 words e-book 99 cents
A penetrating look inside of one California's most volatile prisons.
B.J, a drug dealer serving time, takes the reader on a never before seen, inside look at a California level 4 prison. The inner dynamics between prison guards, gang investigators and the Warden are on display along with the political climate between races where a war is brewing between the Mexicans and Blacks with the White race caught in the crossfire!
Lock Up Diaries- A California Pelican Bay Prison Story- 20,000 words e-book 99 cents
A depiction of life inside of prison and a look at the political landscape between races, segregated by cell after being released from the Pelican Bay SHU in California. 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. The story shows how race riots that can kill prisoners can be started for very small and seemingly unimportant reasons, and how violence permeates every aspect of prison life.
Gladiator- A California Pelican Bay Prison Story- 13,000 words e-book 99 cents
