Lock Up Diaries: A True Crime Look at Drug Wars in Prison

Lock Up Diaries is a raw and honest account of life inside the California prison system during a time marked by gang politics, racial divisions, and repeated institutional lockdowns.

Drawing from his own experience serving a decade behind bars, Glenn Langohr describes the unwritten rules governing prison life and the delicate balance between order and chaos that defines the yard.

Through observation and personal reflection, the memoir explores the culture of prison alliances, the pressures of prison economics, and the psychological impact of incarceration.

Lock Up Diaries provides an unfiltered look at prison life while reflecting on the deeper consequences of crime, responsibility, and the search for redemption.

This book is part of the Life in Lockdown prison memoir series, documenting the realities of incarceration inside the California prison system.
