REVIEW
If you spent
years In prison, what would you do? Glenn wrote a book and it was surely a good
choice.
This short
story is better from prison fiction, because it’s real. While I was reading I
asked myself – who is really leading in prisons? Does prison change you? That’s
what it is about.
I found
some little editor mistakes, like a dot missing, but author already told me
he’ll change t, so it doesn’t matter.
Are you
tired of cute stories about love in prison and people suddenly changing from
killers to lambs? Read it. It is a little hard to follow, and it’s not an
easy-read. Why doesn’t it have good
ratings on Goodreads? It’s not a perfect
holiday book. It is something completly different, something more difficult. (Ratings on Amazon are kind of opposite. Don’t ask me why)
I want to
let you know that it’s not only a good story, it’s a story written by a good
person.

GUEST POST
New Books by Glenn
Langohr, Roll Call and A California Pelican Bay Prison Story Series, Shines
Light on the Ongoing L.A County Jail Prisoner Abuse Scandal
Glenn Langohr draws from his own experiences as an inmate in his
new books, Roll Call and A California Pelican Bay Prison Story Series, and
drops readers into the story behind the story of the ongoing L.A Jail prisoner
abuse scandal.
Glenn Langohr-Portrayed as B.J in Roll Call
"Those without sin cast the first
stone" A released Pelican Bay prisoner in Roll Call has some drug dealing
dirt on a D.A's kid...
In one of Glenn
Langohr's new books, Roll Call, a drug war novel, Roll
Call which penetrates from
an insider’s view, the life inside L.A. county jails, where deputies use
excessive force and even bigger problems in California's state prisons where
guards can create hazard pay in which they are paid time and a half for
instigating riots.
In Glenn Langohr's other
new book, A California Pelican Bay Prison Story, Langohr illustrates life incarcerated in
solitary confinement and questions the gang validation process with an
insider’s view of the interaction between the warden, gang Investigator and
counselor.
Glenn Langohr's books are available on Amazon.
"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.”

Glenn Langohr started lockdownpublishing.com to help other inmates turn their lives around
through writing and art. Langohr utilizes art work from ex-prisoners for his
book covers. Langohr's vision is to illuminate the public to some of the flaws
within the criminal justice and prison system. He says, "We forgot about
redemption."
