Spanish term or phrase: sanción punitiva de libertad
Buen día,

El texto a continuación es parte de un documento sobre sanciones por delitos fiscales:

En materia penal, la ley prevé una **sanción punitiva de libertad** para quien debiendo llevar, por ley, contabilidad mercantil, libros o registros tributarios par satisfacer obligaciones con el Fisco, lleve 2 o más libros similares con distintos asientos o datos, aún libros auxiliares similares o no autorizados, para registrar operaciones contables, fiscales o sociales, asi mismo quien oculte, destruya, ordene o permita destruir, total o parcialmente los libros de contabilidad que le exijan las leyes mercantiles o las disposiciones fiscales, dejandolos ilegibles...

Una vez más, desde ya agradezco todos sus aportes.

custodial sanction
Explanation:
(or) custodial sentence

There may be is a typical legal ellipsis in this expression, since the meaning appears to be "sanción punitiva de (privación de) libertad". In English, this is termed "custodial sanction (or) sentence, as opposed to a noncustodial sanction or sentence, which doesn't entail a loss of liberty.

neutral  Sandro Tomasi: The term is correct, but limited to "prison" sentences. There could be a split sentence where def. rec. time served in a local "jail" and probation.

agree  Adrian MM.: You beat me to it whilst I was digging out this US Am. weblink https://supremecourt.nebraska.gov/supreme-court-rules/chapte... I also think it may not be a custodial sentence handed down by a crim. ct. but a Fisco 'detention'- cf. the IRS.

  -> Thanks, Adrian

agree  Sandro Tomasi: Hi, Becca. Good to see you. I would use custodial sentence. Cheers!
29 mins
  -> Thanks, Sandro (yes, although the generic term "sanction" is used, the text appears to refer to a sentence handed down by a criminal court).

agree  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: Great way to encompass the essential meaning. Do you think custodial penalty could work as well?
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Michael. "Custodial penalty" has the same meaning; "custodial sentence" is what's most often used in English (providing it's a cutodial sanction imposed by a judge).
