Race Riot is a short-form prison memoir drawn from the author's time inside California's maximum-security facilities during a period marked by racial tension, gang politics, and repeated lockdowns.
Serving a decade behind bars, Glenn Langohr recounts how segregation policies, inmate alliances, and underground economies created a fragile balance that could collapse into yard-wide unrest with little warning.
Rather than glorifying conflict, Race Riot documents the environment that produces it and the discipline required to survive within it.
