In history, exile, shunning, ostracism, and the like were often
employed for those who violated the norms of society or arrayed
themselves against the political order.


Like Guantanamo?


Pretty much, except there are those who advocate integrating the Gitmo
Guests into Mr Rogers neighborhood.

In my view, that's carrying the anti-exile mindset a bit too far.
