Richard Hill Feb 6, 2013:
Shame the asker isn't getting involved in the discussion but either way it might be worth you posting an alternative as per your references, Lorena, so at least the asker might confirm or otherwise, when grading the answer.
Sandro Tomasi Feb 5, 2013:
Excellent resource posted by lorenab23 and I second Flavio's comment.
Flavio Posse Feb 3, 2013:
@rhane Providing the original context in Spanish would be of great help.
Richard Hill Jan 31, 2013:
In that case, to keep it simple, and without more context, something like, "sentence to..." or "sentence of", depending.

Although there are definitions according to types and lengths, such as:
"Reformatory Sentence

If the accused person is ordered to serve time in custody for a period or less than two years, the accused would serve this sentence in a provincial jail known as reformatory."

prisión correccional does not make reference to the facility itself, it is a type of sentence; see here:
Al que estuviere procesado por delito que tenga señalada en el Código pena superior a la de prisión correccional
Esta prisión correccional equivalía a la pena de prisión menor del CP anterior, que tenía una duración de seis meses y un día a seis años. Tal prisión menor se corresponde con la de prisión de uno a tres años del CP vigente conforme a la disposición transitoria 11ª.1 d) de la LO 10/1995, de 24 de noviembre, por la que se promulgó el actual CP.

Según el Código Penal, las penas privativas de la libertas son prisión correccional y reclusión, a las que se agregaría una pena de carácter restrictivo que es la sujeción a la vigilancia de la autoridad.


La prisión correccional va de 1 a 7 días, como pena peculiar de la contravención; y de 8 a 5 años como pena del delito

correctional facility

I'd go with if it's US English

A prison (from Old French prisoun)[1] is a place in which people are physically confined and usually deprived of a range of personal freedoms. Imprisonment or incarceration is a legal penalty that may be imposed by the state for the commission of a crime. Other terms used are penitentiary, correctional facility, remand centre, detention centre, and jail or gaol. In some legal systems[which?] some of these terms[which?] have distinct meanings.
