Is it still correct to use sentance when referring to a gaol term?

"Sentance" is not a word.

Whether it is a line of words or a gaol term, the spelling is 'sentence'.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Why did you think that the word "sentance" referred to a gaol/jail/prison term? As you now know, the word is "sentence" regardless of the meaning.
