Underdog

Underdog is a prison memoir centered on California’s Pelican Bay State Prison and the realities of long-term solitary confinement. Drawing from firsthand experience and later visits to incarcerated friends, Glenn Langohr examines the culture surrounding high-security isolation units and the broader debates surrounding prison reform. Rather than presenting a sensational account, Underdog reflects on the psychological impact of extended isolation and the personal transformation that can occur even in the harshest environments.
