serve time/ do one´s sentence

Hello there,

I have to say that a man will be punished moreover at body(?)with a cane after 4 months in a jail and use : "serve the time" or something like that. I cannot use it.

..after the four months serving the time OR after doing his four-month sentence? Please, can you help me and correct other mistakes. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

will be punished moreover at body(?)with a cane

For this part, you need to say something like he will be caned or he will receive corporal punishment.

Best wishes, Clive
