Shadowed

A form of punishment utilized within many Megastructures. Visual contact with the Outside is considered vitally important by the vast majority of the populace. In the case of an individual who has been "Shadowed", the on the Nanotech Swarm on the outer surface of the megastructure is programmed to respond to their presence by opaquing windows and killing any video feeds that provide views of Outside. 
Because this punishment also impacts any individuals who happen to be in the presence of a Shadowed individual, it further stigmatizes them and creates social pressure to not receive the punishment in the future.
This form of punishment affects the offender without impeding their ability to function within the society or requiring the use of incarceration.
The length of Shadowing is determined by the nature and severity of the infraction as well as levels of recidivism.
