Gladiator is a prison memoir drawn from the author's years inside California's highest-security facilities.
During a period marked by gang politics, racial tension, and repeated lockdowns, Glenn Langohr observed the fragile balance between order and chaos inside maximum-security prison yards.
Rather than sensationalizing violence, Gladiator explores the psychological pressures that shape inmate behavior and the moral crossroads faced by those trying to survive incarceration.
