To express the action of punishment:

* Un-: This prefix can be used to negate the action, creating words like unpunished, meaning not punished.

* Re-: This prefix can be used to indicate a repetition of the action, creating words like re-punished, meaning punished again.

* Mis-: This prefix can be used to suggest a punishment that was wrong or unjust, creating words like mispunished, meaning punished incorrectly.

To express the state of being punished:

* Punitive: This is an adjective meaning "relating to punishment."

* Penal: This is an adjective meaning "relating to punishment, especially as determined by law."

* Disciplined: This is an adjective meaning "trained to obey rules or a code of behavior."

Other options:

* Pre-: This prefix can be used to indicate something that happens before punishment, like pre-punishment (though this is not a common word).

The best prefix to use will depend on the specific meaning you want to convey.
