Time outs can only damage if they are loaded with guilt and shame etc etc.
The time generally goes according to age. 3 years = 3 minutes.
I doesn't have to be locked in their rooms (think supernanny), or the nearest dungeon.
Streamlining discipline between parents (or significant others) can be the hardest thing EVER. When the kids see a crack - the work right on it! Dp and I will let the other parent lead the discipline and back them up at the time, but if we don't agree we have an argument about it later when everyone is tucked in bed.....
