Even the U.S. had exile, though it slowly faded away. By the 1970s it seems to have disappeared as a formal punishment, though people might sometimes get suspended sentences on the condition they leave the state. This happened to a family member of mine--given a suspended sentence (enough for prison, not jail) and admonished by the judge that if he ever returned to the state he'd have to do the time. (Said family member never did return. They weren't a resident there, anyhow, but a resident of an adjacent state.) Today it would be considered unconstitutional, which is a real shame as forcing someone to leave what might be an enabling environment (e.g. running with a bad crowd) is often the best remedy for all involved, particularly the person misbehaving.
