Lock Up Diaries

"Lock Up Diaries takes you inside of the California prison system where inmates are segregated by race. A piercing look inside of prison where violence seems to be what the guards want, where they can get paid time and a half for riots and instigating them becomes normal. B.J, a drug criminal, takes the readers on a view never before seen, where interaction with the warden, gang investigators and counsellors actually promote gang allegiance!"




~ Orange County Weekly




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 who are segregated by cell. 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.




The author, Glenn Langohr paints the culture into words and takes you on a journey into the belly of the beast where in this instance, a drug debt is on the verge of sparking a gang war.
