Isolation is a punishment though isn't it?

Isolation from society, yes. But that's to protect society, its purpose is not punishment.

Basically, I like the Norwegian approach.

I keep hearing that it is because 'humans are social animals' and all that but is it really for people with antisocial behaviour?

If it were non-optional, I think so.
