Hell is a construct. Not for just scaring people but making people believe they actually have control over their lives.
"Good people get good treatment, bad people get bad treatment." Life isn't so neat and tidy as that.
Theres all kinds of very real places and experiences that could be described as "hell" in the poetic sense. They're not mutually exclusive to any side of the fence morality wise though. The best of us can be given the worst treatment, the worst of us can be given the best.
The concept of celestial justice is just wishful thinking.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die."
