Hello everyone!:)
When I read Jackson's sentence, a word came to my mind, what if you use "prosecuted" here? It seems to be a warning, and, it should be formal, shouldn't it? ..but, I don't know how it is used. Can it be,
Fishing is forbidden here. Anyone caught fishing will be prosecuted.
?
Thanks in advance!

Then, how should it be written with "prosecuted"?
...Anyone caught fishing will be prosecuted with either a fine of 100$ or a couple of days in prison.

It sounds very weird to me, as I said before, I still don't know how to use the word, I just remembered it was used in warnings and in formal cases.
