Prison is mainly used as a way of keeping people away from society who are a danger to it.
"Hell" is something that happens to you after you die supposedly. No one needs protecting from you anymore, you dead son. So in this analogy, it would be like re animating the corpse and making it live forever in a prison as vengeance. A prison made just for this purpose. Optionally torturing it as well, depending on which version people believe in.
So it's really not a very good comparison. Prison isn't primarily concerned with seeking vengeance. If a murderer dies before being convicted, we don't stomp on his corpse for all eternity as payback.
