Roll Call is a powerful prison memoir drawn from the author’s decade inside some of California’s most violent correctional institutions during the height of the modern drug war. After becoming involved in drug trafficking and facing serious criminal charges, Glenn Langohr entered a prison system shaped by gang politics, racial divisions, and underground economies operating within the walls. Inside, survival depended on discipline, alliances, and learning the unwritten rules governing life on the yard. Through firsthand experience, Roll Call examines the deeper realities of incarceration — from the influence of prison gangs and the culture of prison politics to the broader social forces surrounding the war on drugs and sentencing laws that reshaped the American prison system. Kirkus Discoveries described the book as “a harrowing, down-and-dirty depiction of the U.S. war on drugs… sometimes reminiscent of Steven Soderbergh’s film Traffic,” noting the author’s ability to shift perspectives while exploring the interconnected worlds of cartels, outlaw bikers, and the criminal justice system. At the center of the story is a turning point. While navigating the harsh realities of prison life, the author began writing as a way to confront his past and search for redemption.
