English term or phrase: Penal servitude
"The one who has indulged
all his life in sinful doings is sent to hell (Narak or Dozakh)
to undergo the penal servitude for a particular length of
time as his deeds may merit, and thereby rid himself of the
evil impressions, and understand
the law that works for his
ultimate good".
