This is the context:
Met enige regelmaat zet het cabildo(local council) hier (-> coffee plantation) ook mensen te werk die door de inheemse justitie wegens een vergrijp (misdrijf) tot een taakstraf zijn veroordeeld.
Would 'compulsory labor' be too strong in this case? Is there a better word? Thanks in advance

{compulsory) community service
IMO 'forced labor' is too strong - it calls up images of concentration camps or prison chain gangs.
I'd suggest the Van Dale translation 'community service', possibly with the qualification 'compulsory'.

community punishment order
My source is the British detective series "Judge John Deed". In one of its episodes the Judge imposed a community punishment order.
