    Default días multa

    I am working on a legal document that refers to legal sentences for different crimes and many times the phrase "días multa" is used. I think I understand the idea, that "multa" is not paid with money but rather with length of time, but I am not sure how to properly translate it into English.

    Here is some more context:

    "SE IMPONDRA PRISION DE DIEZ A VEINTICINO AÑOS Y DE CIEN HASTA QUINIENTOS DIAS MULTA AL QUE..."

    I am not sure if "fine days" sounds right in English, any other suggestions?? Thanks!

    In the United States the common phrase is "days to serve". Most states provide for a system of punishment where a larger sentence is commuted to a specific number of days or years to serve in prison and the remainder of the sentence is served under supervised probation.
