I think the first thing that needs to be clarified here is that this person does NOT have a criminal record (as noted by the asker). So I can't see why "convict" or "criminal" would show up on the record.

In this case, sentenciados would mean "sentences/convictions given", or more simply, "convictions".

What would show up is a section showing criminal convictions. If there are no convictions, then this section would be empty.

I have translated a few criminal records from Latin America, and those countries that use typewritten forms will have a blank section for this purpose. This section will be left blank or will have "Ninguno/a" (or another word to that effect) if the person does not have a criminal record.

Anyway, that is my suggestion from my experience. I hope it helps!

I think this was mistakenly awarded to me. I believe the asker wanted to award the points to Henry. It sounds like my explanation did not fit the context (sentenciados came from the institution\'s name, and was not part of the record).

I\'ll make sure to send a note to the asker.
