25 mins confidence:

completed his sentence

Explanation:
(1) sentence and not "prison sentence" because a sentence does not necessary mean "priosn" - some people get to pay fines, or do community work, etc. If it was فترته بالسجن then "prison sentence would be fine."

(2) "completed" is used for time, "finished" for tasks. Slight difference in meaning, but important.

His sentence finished / his sentence expired( Look below)

Explanation:
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE
AT JACKSON
Assigned on Briefs June 7, 2005
MICHAEL W. SMITH v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Appeal from the Criminal Court for Shelby County
No. 28160 Chris Craft, Judge
No. W2004-00689-CCA-R3-HC - Filed August 16, 2005
The Appellant, Michael W. Smith, proceeding pro se, appeals the Shelby County Criminal
Court’s summary dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. Smith was convicted of
rape in Shelby County and received an eight-year Department of Correction sentence, to be
served consecutively to a three-year Department of Correction sentence in a separate case. On
appeal, Smith argues that the trial court erred in dismissing the petition because his eight-year
sentence has expired. After review, we affirm the trial court’s dismissal of the petition on
grounds that Smith has failed to establish that his sentence has expired.
Tenn. R.
