"Why is it reasonable to believe in prisons, but not in the hell?"

[RozzerusUnrelentus]

Do you also doubt the existence of hospitals, schools, police stations, public libraries, or other social institutions?

No, because those things do not seem to contradict the basic principle of social sciences, that is the principle of rationality. One can rationally believe hospitals, schools, public libraries and perhaps even police stations are a good thing. But one cannot rationally believe prisons are a good thing. And for prisons to exist, politicians would need to be systematically biased (all biased towards believing prisons are a good thing), which contradicts the principle of rationality.

Can you clarify just what your argument is about? Is it whether prisons exist or not, or prisons exist without justification? Spell it out coherently.

And this: 'But one cannot rationally believe prisons are a good thing...' Who said? Do you apply that argument to the armed services? Or mental institutions? Sweeping statements won't help you.
