Glenn Langohr's New Book, Lock Up Diaries, Expores Drug Debts Inside Prison

Glenn Langohr's New Book, Lock Up Diaries, Expores Drug Debts Inside Prison. Lock Up Diaries is available in print, kindle and audio book. Here's the link for print-  http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00571NY5A 

Here's the synopsis. 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. 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.
In Lock Up Diaries, a drug debt is on the verge of sparking a gang war.

Who Are The Real Victims? By Glenn Langohr

Who Are The Real Victims? By Glenn Langohr. On my wordpress site I asked, "Who are the real criminals?" Now I'm changing the context to victims. Maybe it's more compassionate.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak to 20 kids on probation about drug addiction, gang life and prison time. When I got out of prison in 2008 on drug charges I started going to A.A. I met my sponsor, Mr. Phillip Doran and worked the 12 steps. I was selfish but real about it. While in prison in solitary confinement I spent 10 hours a day writing Roll Call, a drug war novel. Phillip Doran is a prolific writer and one of the ex producers of many hit TV shows. I told him I wanted him to help me take over Hollywood. Okay, I am a little vain. After working the steps, Phillip read all of my prison books and reviewed them. He also helps me with marketing.

Part of the 12 steps is giving back to newcomers in sobriety, hence we spoke to the kids in trouble at probation. While speaking to the kids I couldn't help but see them as victims. Kids from broken homes. Kids who are so hyper sensitive they become their own victims. Both Phillip and I shared our story of hope and inspiration. I told them, "God loves you." and gave out my number to one of the kids. We'll see if he calls and I get the chance to sponsor him.

Here's a review for my drug war novel Roll Call- A harrowing, down-and-dirty depiction--sometimes reminiscent of Steven Soderbergh's Traffic--of America's war on drugs, by former dealer and California artist Langohr. Locked up for a decade on drugs charges and immersed in both philosophical tomes and modern pulp thrillers, Langohr penned Roll Call, a light fictionalization of his troubled life. "I went from obsessively pacing my cell and wondering and worrying about how I was actually going to get my attorney to defend me, and how many years this sentence would bring," writes Langohr in an afterword, "to realizing that if I find a way to write what's in my head, I can find a way out of this hole I had put myself in!" Roll Call makes for exciting reading--gunplay, covert operations and backhanded deals abound. A vivid, clamorous account of the war on drugs. --Kirkus Discoveries, Nielsen Business Media, 770 Broadway, N.Y Yk

All of Glenn Langohr's drug war and prison thriller books are available on Amazon and other retail outlets in print, kindle and audio book.

Glenn Langohr's New Book: Prison Riot, A True Story of Surviving a Gang War in Prison, is Available in Print, Audio Book and Kindle

Glenn Langohr's New Book: Prison Riot, A True Story of Surviving a Gang War in Prison, is Available in Print, Audio Book and Kindle. 

Ever wonder what a prison riot is like? B.J, a white inmate, serving time on drug charges, gets caught up in a Mexican gang war. The northern California Mexicans demand that the southern California Mexicans keep their shirts on to cover up their gangland tattoos. The prison explodes into chaos as each building erupts in deadly violence. For B.J, the war isn't over when he and over a hundred inmates get housed in solitary confinement, it's just beginning. For getting involved, he's labeled a southern Mexican ganster.

The hardcore action unfolds like a movie in this bare bones thriller of true crime. 

Glenn Langohr spent over 10 years in some of the roughest California prisons on drug charges. During this period he wrote novels to turn it into a blessing. His vision is to help other inmates get instructional writing guides and change their lives.

Glenn Langohr's Drug War Book Roll Call is Getting Great Reviews

Glenn Langohr's Drug War Book Roll Call is Getting Great Reviews. Here's one from a book blog review site. To purchase Roll Call in print or kindle go here- http://www.amazon.com/Roll-Call-Prison-Corruption-Redemption/dp/1439246084/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1351960112&sr=1-3&keywords=glenn+langohr

The first thing I noticed about the book is the length, Wow 734 pages, I did think I was going to be reading it for weeks as it has got to be the longest book I have read to date.
I infact finished reading this after around 14 hours. This 14 hours did take a week though as I read for a couple of hours before going to sleep.

There was drug cartels, violence, underhand police, crime and it all was very believable, Yes I know its a true story but sometimes truth does not always sound believable.
It seemed that a certain detective would try to bust B.J for just breathing and was on his back all the time trying to stitch him up even when B.J went legit. I really felt for him as I could see all he wanted to do was put the drugs behind him and start over. Which I guess would be pretty difficult when he is being hounded all of the time with drugs raids and the likes for no reason at all.


Prison life sounds as I had thought it would be but the story differed slightly from my own perception, I think it is probably because I can be a little naïve as I have never been in trouble myself so just go by TV programmes of what prison life and prison officers are like.

Roll Call is a fantastic and insightful read. It was very well written and it has left me wanting to know the rest of the story so I will be reading Upon Release very soon.

Glenn Langohr Spoke to 97 Criminal Justice Students at UC Irvine about His Books, Prison Time and Solitary Confinement

Glenn Langohr Spoke to 97 Criminal Justice Students at UC Irvine about His Books, Prison Time and Solitary Confinement

The students in Professor Keramet's class were required to read an excerpt from Glenn's book Underdog. In Underdog, Glenn compares dogs in a cage with humans in the same cages and points out that our nation has more compassion for the dogs. Glenn also shows how the process to get in to solitary and out of solitary is in the hands of prison officials in California, not courts.

"I got to speak to 97 Criminal Justice college kids at UC Irvine this afternoon. It was so awesome! They read an excerpt from my book Underdog and loved it. My friend captured it all on video for the Orange County Register! At the end I hand
ed out 13 books to students and joked that maybe the Professor would give them extra credit for leaving me a review on Amazon. I think I'm a natural speaker. I hope I don't become a politician! Somebody kill me if that starts to happen. On another note my new audio book I narrated is going off! Here it is to buy"-http://www.amazon.com/Lock-Up-Diaries-Inside-Killers/dp/B009UX5NYG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1351653853&sr=8-3&keywords=glenn+langohr+audio+books

"My newest prison thriller is available in print! When the producer of Lock Up Abroad interviewed me, she asked, '“How much of your stories are real?”' I told her the truth, that I paint with the true colors of life on a fictional landscape."
 That just isn’t health for all of the involved parties. In my newest prison thriller, since it happened in the 1990′s, none of the places and names have been changed. Send it to someone in prison, or if you want to know what it is like for yourself, read and review it. Thanks! The picture included in this post is me helping my nephew fly!

Sage's Review of My Novel Roll Call


Roll Call, A True Prison Story of Corruption and Redemption ( Roll Call Volume 1 )
Roll Call, A True Prison Story of Corruption and Redemption ( Roll Call Volume 1 )
Price: $2.99


4.0 out of 5 stars Roll Call is the real dealOctober 22, 2012
Benny Johnson who is known as B.J. has a complicated childhood; a controlling father, a mother trying to keep her family together, and a fierce drive to support himself and his brother. His downward spiral begins when he decides to go to Mexico and set himself up to deal drugs. The trip leads to meeting and scheming with various people from ex-cons, neighborhood dealers, to the deceitful upper class. B.J. considers himself a Christian who acknowledges he is a sinner. His entire life is spent trying to make decisions with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.

The author, Glenn Langohr, spent a decade in the California Prison system for drug charges. He is no stranger to how life works behind bars. Between Langohr's gifted writing and criminal experience, readers of Roll Call receive the raw truth behind drug addiction, prison life, and fighting to walk the line.

While, B.J. is a fictional character, much of his story, and other incidents in Roll Call are based on actual events. There are many different characters in Roll Call, and it is interesting to see how they all interact and affect each other. It's a roller coaster ride following B.J. on his ups and downs. It felt like when he was trying hard to stay straight, there was either temptation dangling in his face or someone trying to keep him down, specifically a detective that received gratification when B.J. was in pain.
