I believe the answer is:

penal

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">related to punishment</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for penal that I've seen before include "Involving legal punishment" , "Involving punishment as by the law" , "Punitive" , "Corrective" , "Deliberately unpleasant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
