Exile to where exactly?

And what do you do when they violate the terms of the exile (which seems likely enough in this case)?

Something like swain's island or baker island. I guess worst case you could go back to the other options if they escaped. Swain's is technically outside of the immigration controls of most of the US so you'd be committing another crime to re-enter without presenting to immigration anyway.

How is that exile when there are no border controls?
