This is a commission set up to do the following:
"The *** (name of state) Sentencing Accountability Commission (SENTAC), was established under Title 11, §6580 of the **** Code. The overarching purpose for the creation of the Commission was to establish a system that emphasizes accountability of the offender to the criminal justice system and accountability of the criminal justice system to the public.
In fulfillment of its purpose, the Commission created sentencing guidelines [...] designed to ensure certain and consistent punishment commensurate with the seriousness of the offense and taking into consideration resource availability and cost."
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Comisión de Responsabilidad en Sentencias del Estado de...
"Accountability" is both of the offender to the criminal justice system and of the criminal justice system to the public so it must be taken into account in your translation. It refers to the fact that the offender and also the criminal justice system have to answer for their acts in their respective terms.
I would add "(SENTAC)" next to the Spanish name just once, probably in the first paragraph below the title where it appears.

: aquí no se habla de transparencia per sé, sino de la rendición de cuentas/responsabilidad.

En algunos ámbitos (lee el artículo), se traduce por "transparencia" ("per se", sin tilde en "se"): http://revistas.ubiobio.cl/index.php/HHEE/article/view/2049/... Gracias, escobarramsey.

Comisión [del estado …] para la Rendición de Cuentas respecto de Sentencias (SENTAC por sus siglas)
http://cjc.delaware.gov/sentac/sentac.shtml
The Benchbook is designed to assist sentencing judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and other participants within the sentencing community in the formulation of sentences that are consistent with the goals of sentencing reform promulgated by SENTAC. The overall sentencing philosophy of the General Assembly and SENTAC is that offenders should be sentenced to the least restrictive and most cost-effective sanction possible given the severity of the offense, the criminal history of the offender and the focus, which is, above all, to protect the public's safety.

Puedes utilizar también "condenas / penas"
Al menos en Ecuador se habla de "rendición de cuentas" de los organismos y entidades públicos.

Comisión de Rendición de Cuentas sobre Fallos del Estado de XXX
Aquí se disipa el debate de condenas/penas/sentencias, dado que fallo es toda decisión producto de un proceso, en cualquier ámbito.
También noto un debate respecto a transparencia/rendición de cuentas/responsabilidad, y a pesar de que he descartado transparencia porque se aleja del contexto, los últimos dos términos me parecen adecuados, y sigo inclinándome por rendición de cuentas, dado que responsabilidad puede confundirse con liability.
Es mi humilde opinión como jurista traductora. Saludos

Aparte, y lo que Wiki no menciona, es que también hay sentencias interlocutorias que son las que le ponen término a cuestiones incidentales que requieran de previo y especial pronunciamiento, como las que se adopten antes de un juicio oral.
"In Spain ... at least 'sentencia' implies judicial decision + punishment."
Yes, but only when it is used as an elliptical of the full term, sentencia condenatoria.
