Responding to a ship in trouble, Voyager acquires a Nygean warden and his eight prisoners stated for execution. Federation medical treatment of one particularly incorrigible prisoner (injured by the guards) inadvertently cures him of his violent sociopathic tendencies. Now newly wracked with guilt - a punishment in itself - he welcomes his coming execution for his crimes, for which Captain Janeway argues leniency and reconsideration to his captors. Meanwhile, Neelix, through a second prisoner, learns of the partiality of the Nygean justice system.
