Portuguese term or phrase: execução criminal
Hi, this shows up in a set of prison records for a Brazilian court. Here's the sentence minus the confidential information:

"ATESTAMOS, para os devidos fins, que a sentenciaca (...) matricula no. (...), filha de (...) Execucao Criminal (...) da Vara de Execucoes Criminais da Comarca de São Paulo/SP mantém um ÓTIMO comportamento carcerário."

The part following the phrase is a number, the rest are names. As you can see it appears twice in this phrase, the second time in plural. It also appears later in the document as part of a table, simply with "execução" and the same number as above.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is also referred to as "penal execution", so the second instance (Vara de Execuções Penais) could be translated as "Penal Execution Court".

3.1.6. At the trial court level, the specialized criminal courts are composed of:
(i) Criminal Trial Courts and Criminal Appeals Courts, which are courts of first and second instance, respectively, have jurisdiction for the trial of ordinary citizens who are alleged to have committed crimes, as classified by the Penal Code. However, cases dealing with matters at the federal level are subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Justice courts.
(ii) Jury Courts, which judge crimes with malicious intent against human life. In this forum the decision is arrived at by the people, represented by jurors, chosen from among common citizens.
(iii) ****Courts to Instruct Compliance with Criminal Penalties ("Vara de Execuções Criminais")*** which supervise the measures necessary to ensure that sentences are duly served and penalties applied.
(iv) Police Internal Affairs and Prison Supervisory Courts, which oversee the actions of the police and of the prison administrations.
