Exile (punishment)
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Exile was a form of punishment used by numerous cultures and sentient species across the galaxy were the punished were banished from their society, rarely ever to return. This form of punishment was known to be practiced by the Jedi Order against members who went against the will of the Order or turned to the dark side. Not all cases of exile were a form of punishment, as any being could place themselves in a self-imposed exile for a wrong they perceived they had done, removing themselves from society to keep them from wronging another again, or for failing a task they had believed they should have accomplished.
