The Titans deserved to be imprisoned. Cause they are against to the Olympian Gods and Goddesses. Especially Cronus, because of his hunger for power, he heartless eaten his children except Zeus. How can a Father do that to his children ...
Imagine also how Titans dismembered Baby Dionysus so that they will have the throne of Zeus....
Titans are so heartless and cruel even to their fellow deities.

Zeus had to imprison the titans because humans couldnt be created untill then. If he would have just banished them to Earth Titans and humans would be equal and that would mean that humans would be just as great as the gods themselfs.
Second he didnt imprison all of them right away Prometheus took sides with the gods and got to help create life on earth it wasnt untill after he took fire from mount olympus and gave it to humans so they could survive that he was chained to a rock where a eagle ate his liver out every day and every night it rejuvinated this process only being broken after he was freed by Hercules.

It was neccessary, as Zeus himself, was an ursuper of the throne.
Compared to their earthly counterparts, Zeus was kind enough to just imprison them. As one can see from history, it is not uncommon to murder the entire family of the previous kings, so as to minimize the possibility of vengence, and ensure a safe rule.
Most probably, the Titans were a group of gods worshipped by the earlier people living in Greece. As the Greek ancestors, took over the territory, their gods to were embroiled in was, and the greek gods won. Hence, the imprisonment of the older gods, signifying their supremacy of the skies

Well, Zeus wasn't known for his compassion and the Titans did try to destroy the Olympian Gods. Oh and the Titans weren't any better to their parents.

Well, Cronos did eat his children, and also almost ate Zeus if it wouldn't have been for Rhea. Yeah, I would say that the Titans deserved it.
