But I suppose you're right. Unless they somehow lost their immortality, it is almost impossible to permanently punish them. But imprisonment in Tartarus I would say is the closest thing. I mean, if Tartarus was anything similar in the myths to how it described in The House of Hades, I would say that is pretty horrible punishment. However, some of it might be Rick Riordan's invention, since Tartarus was shown to have the ability to kill an immortal Titan. But if that were true in the myths (I have not read the myths in their original sources), then I would view that as a permanent punishment. Well, of course, being locked up is the worst punishment for an immortal, since they can't be killed, and Tartarus is the worst place to be locked up. lol
