custodial sentence to be served Explanation: I agree with the asker's idea and feel the right verb to collocate with sentence is serve, rather than execute or even enforce, e.g. custodial sentence to be 'enforced'. Example sentence(s):

Reference: immediate vs. suspended imprisonment/custody Reference information: Pentru posteritate: în Regatul Unit, opusul lui suspended sentence este immediate sentence. Mai jos sunt câteva exemple. 25. Rule 81.2 replaces the terms “applicant” and “respondent” with “claimant” and “defendant” and defines certain other terms including: a. order of committal, which is stated to mean the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment (whether immediate or suspended) for contempt of court https://www.onepumpcourt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Committal-... Neil Wilson sees his 12 month suspended sentence replaced with 2 years immediate custody (...) The Lord Chief Justice, sitting at the Court of Appeal has today lifted the suspension on the sentence handed to Neil Wilson, and replaced it with a 2 year prison sentence. (...) I am pleased that they have found that this sentence was unduly lenient and have imposed an immediate sentence of imprisonment. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/neil-wilson-sees-his-12-m... Clause 196: Imprisonment with or without a custody plus order 491. This clause modifies section 181 of the 2003 Act so as to enable a service court to pass an immediate (i.e. non-suspended) sentence of imprisonment for less than 12 months which does not include a custody plus order. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/094/e... In summary, the cases make clear that the adverse effects the pandemic has had on prison life is a relevant factor a sentencing court can take into consideration in deciding: 1) whether to impose a suspended sentence; and 2) the length of any immediate custodial sentence. The Court therefore noted: “that in the present, exceptional, circumstances it is appropriate to take the conditions under which the applicant is presently held in custody into account”. Accordingly, the Court quashed the sentence of 8 months and imposed a sentence of 6 months' immediate custody. Taken together the judgments highlight: (...) Whether to suspend a sentence of otherwise immediate custody; or The length of any immediate custody imposed. It would appear that the consideration of current prison conditions as a mitigating factor will have greatest relevance in cases where any proposed sentence of immediate custody will be relatively low: the argument for those facing immediate imprisonment of a number of years will be of less significance given the (apparent) limited period of restriction this will be to their overall time in custody. https://www.parksquarebarristers.co.uk/news/impact-covid-19-... |
