Custodial Sentence
Prison, as a place for locking people up to serve a custodial sentence, was of lesser importance in the time of the Bible. Prison was usually a place where people were locked up temporarily until they were sentenced.
In the time of Moses, someone could be sentenced to exile as well. The convicted person would then be banished from the community.
