Do you understand?
Well, maybe. Still, many atheists use the argument that hell would not be justice as an argument against its existence, and I think it is a relatively convincing argument.
Allow me to suggest that you've misunderstood the objection in addition to misunderstanding valid inference. Whether we sub in hell or prison, the argument is invalid for precisely the same reason. They're both non sequiturs.
The injustice of hell is a comment on the moral status of a competent god, not the existence of hell. Just as the injustice of a prison is a comment on the moral status of a competent system, not the existence of prisons.
