Perfectly

A punishment for doing something which is against the law or rule

penalty

Penalty you usually hear in Sports or other games which are usually rules in the game that punish fowl play. I think you can also hear Penalty as a legal term, like you parked wrong and now your penalty is to pay 50 bux.
They kinda mean the same thing, but Punishment sounds more severe. Like nobody ever died while receiving a penalty, things like execution or losing your whole life savings or something like that is definitely a Punishment.
Punishment also has this Medieval or Biblical tone. Like The Emperor Punished him, or the man was Punished by God himself.
While a Penalty is something you can walk away from with all your limbs and loved ones intact xD
You also use “Punish” a lot when talking about raising children. Since Children are so susceptible to any kind of stimulus any negative experience you give them is going to be Punishment.
