In some cases, drugs were smuggled into the prison by visitors and passed to inmates in the visiting area. What impact did these five drug rings have on life within the institution? Basically, the effect of this drug activity, as in all such situations, is that it promotes general criminal activity within the institution. Drug activity in institutions leads to coercion among inmates, strong-arming enforcement-type activities and, in general, a greater degree of violence in institutions.

The show ran from 1960 to 1972, second only to "Ozzie and Harriet" as network TVs longest-running situation comedy. It still is popular in reruns.
