When you think about it, solitary confinement is an improvement in terms of cruelty dealt to the victim; where older societies would exile a transgressor, they never barred them from making a new life for themselves elsewhere. The point was that the transgressor was no longer present, and he no longer had access to his friends and family and other resources too big to carry.
My country had a similar punishment along these lines.
