Imagine: You are Gandalf. You have just broken Saruman's staff, and now it is time for you to decide how to punish him. Would you make the same choice as Gandalf - to lock him up in his tower - or would you do something different? Something a bit more interesting?
So, how would you punish Saruman?
Creative and funny ideas please, not violent or gory ones. No disembowling or dissections.
 
I won't go into detail; but leave
this Saruman fellow to meeeow.

Stripped of his powers and left with Wormtongue as a companion. ALL his powers, even that of persuasion. Or imprison him with a deaf jailor.
 
It might be interesting to lock him in a room with a 64-disk tower of hanoi and tell him that we'll let him go when he solves it.
(a 64-disk tower of hanoi would basically take billions of years to solve)
