Solitary confinement for 30 days, given deliberately bland food, ordered security personnel not to talk to him, given nothing to stimulate him (such as books), in a tiny cell that he couldn’t leave.
Literally illegal in pretty much all of the developed world, and definitely comes under cruel and unusual punishment as well as psychological torture, as outlined in the Human Rights Act.
It was a completely over-the-top and callous punishment.
Janeway literally tortured Paris in this episode.

Is this where we finally get to just say that Janeway was a bad captain and a shitty human?
