Response
This episode's allegorical look at the American prison system was somewhat controversial with Trek fans, with some accusing it of being too liberal, on the one hand, the Iko plotline establishes that Iko was a sick man, and with treatment he could have been a productive member of society. On the other hand, while Joleg's stories of racial profiling may be true, Joleg himself is revealed as a manipulative creature, unworthy of Neelix's trust.
