The event of exiling someone during the Ottoman period was used for the aim of both punishmen and settlement. However, during the Republican period the exiles were only used to punish the person. The method of exiles was mainly used after the person in question stayed at prison and finished the most of his prisonment period. Then the remaining years he was not kept at prison but sent to exile. This ratio was mainly one-fifth of the remaining period of prisonment. This was a kind of compalsary settlement in a special place where he could not create any problem. The second type of exile was used for the person living in places close to border and creating promlem for the security of that area. Such persons were forced to settle in an area far from the borderlands.In the early years of the Republican era the exiles sent to Nigde mainly belong to the second type exiles, a kind of exiles used for spies. This was due to the fact that Nigde was situated in the central part of Anatolia and was relatively secure place. The event of exiling was not a total punishment at all, only restricting some rights of the person in question. He was almost free to do all free person could be able to. He had some certain rights in his practical life.
