It is a place where [[demon]]s are produced from human [[soul]]s after centuries of torture.<ref name="three09">[[3.09 Malleus Maleficarum]]</ref> Black-eyed demons are constantly being created, and they occupy positions on Earth using [[meatsuit]]s, whereas white-eyed demons are scarce in numbers, but are extremely powerful.

[[Death]] can enter Hell and bring souls back to Earth, as shown when he retrieved Sam's soul from [[Lucifer'Supernaturals Cage]]. [[Reaper]]s and anyone else who has access to the secret portal inside of [[Purgatory]] can also enter Hell and rescue souls trapped inside. As King of Hell, Crowley had set up his court at [[Needham Asylum]] on Earth, rather than in Hell. Although Crowley had access to the realm, he had told Sam and Dean on separate occasions how he dislikes being in Hell. After Crowley dies, [[Asmodeus]] also takes up residence in Needham Asylum. ===Characteristics===[[Ruby]] revealed that "there's a real fire in the pit, agonies you can't even imagine."<ref name="three09" /> [[Meg]] described Hell as "...a prison, made of bone and flesh and blood and fear."<ref name="two14">[[2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign]]</ref> When Alastair was being tortured by Dean, he said that compared to Hell, reality is "too concrete" on Earth.<ref name="four16">[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]</ref> The tortures endured by damned souls in Hell also consist of hallucinations meant to break their psyche and compel them to adopt the demon faith of their own volition. When Dean Winchester was dragged to Hell, he first found himself suspended on meat hooks among infinite chains as storm clouds raged around him.<ref name="three16">[[3.16 No Rest for the Wicked]]</ref> Hell also consists of endless racks which human souls hang from while being tortured. When Dean was tortured by Alastair in Hell, he told him that he would take him off the rack if Dean started torturing. For one month (equivalent to 10 years), Dean apprenticed under Alastair and tortured souls until he was rescued by Castiel. After taking charge of Hell, Crowley transformed it into a place where torture was exemplified by endless queuing where upon reaching the front of the line, they start over from the end. Though more traditional dungeon areas still exist, as evidenced when [[Sam]] traveled to Hell to perform the second [[Trial]] to save the [[soul]] of [[Bobby Singer]]. The tortures in the dungeon area appeared to be a mix of physical, with various damned souls shown to be mutilated in one form or punishment another, and pain psychological as with Bobby Singer, who would be tortured daily by black-eyed versions of Sam and Dean Winchester. {|align="center"|[[File:Crowley'sHell.jpg|thumb|340px|[[Crowley]]'s new Hell.]]|[[File:Hell Dungeon.png|thumb|340px|Hell's dungeon.]]|} ===Limbo===Limbo is an area that resides in the furthest reaches of Hell, it's this place that Crowley would send unruly souls for "time out." While lacking in aesthetics, Limbo is an incredibly secure area that is accessed through a long corridor, with walls that have been built with bones of the damned. Once reached, Limbo is a desolate place where bones litter the ground, and torches light the plains of the damned as constant thunder and lightning storms rage above.  {|align="center"|[[File:LimboEntrance.jpg|thumb|340px|The entrance to Limbo.]]|[[File:Hell-Limbo-Corridor.png|thumb|340px|The corridor to the furthest reaches of Hell.]]|} ==Hierarchy and Denizens==A hierarchy in Hell exists, but is not as rigid as that found [[Heaven]]. Alliances and affiliations between demons tend not to last for long periods.  [[File:Hell'sThrone2.png|thumb|right|350px|[[Rowena]] sits on Hell's throne.]]===Leadership===[[Azazel]] was a very powerful demon general who was a devoted zealot of [[Lucifer]]. He was described as a "tyrant" by [[Casey]], who kept the afterlifedemons in Hell in line. Human souls After Azazel's death, [[Lilith]] was released from her prison and assumed the void in leadership. [[Ruby]] was another strong demon who eventually proved instrumental in releasing Lucifer by secretly manipulating [[Sam Winchester]] so that he would kill Lilith, breaking the last [[The 66 Seals|seal]]. Other more specific positions include King of Hell -- the ruler of all demons, King of Crossroads -- the demon who are sent holds all crossroad deal contracts and Knights of Hell -- the elite guard of Hell. It is unknown what specific rank Lilith held amongst the demons, but the [[white-eyed demon]] [[Alastair]] was described by Ruby as, "Practically the Grand Inquisitor downstairs. Picasso—with a razor."  Lucifer is revered as the creator of demons, though no demons had been able to contact him in his isolation, other than Azazel. Lucifer would direct Azazel in the plans involving the [[Special Children]], and the plot to release him from [[Lucifer's Cage|his prison]]. Following Azazel's death, Ruby and Lilith took over his plan covertly. When Lucifer was freed, the demons served him as the rightful ruler of Hell, with the exception of [[Crowley]]. After Lucifer's re-imprisonment,<ref name="five22">[[5.22 Swan Song]]</ref> Crowley declared himself King of Hell with the blessing of [[Ramiel]], a [[Prince of Hell]] and sibling of Azazel. [[Abaddon]], a [[Knight of Hell]] and one of the most powerful demons in existence eventually started a civil war with Crowley in order to take control for herself, but was killed by Dean Winchester with [[the First Blade]] before she could officially depose Crowely. After Crowley was betrayed by his demons and deposed as ruler by Lucifer, he agreed to help the Winchesters trap Lucifer in [[Apocalypse World]], in addition to agreeing to close the Gates of Hell forever, having grown tired being ruler and dealing with demons. Crowley was unable to make good on his promise, due to sacrificing himself to close the rift between universes to trap Lucifer. In Crowley's absence, at least one demon, [[Kipling]], attempted to fill the power vacuum left in Crowley's wake. His attempt to take over Hell are tormented until their humanity is stripped away , saw Kipling try and strike a deal with Sam Winchester, along the same lines as they become had with Crowley. After Sam rejected Kipling's offer, and killed him, Sam would declare that, "There will be no new King of Hell. Not today. Not ever. And if anybody wants the job, you can come through me." A threat demons (seemed to take to heart, as according to Nick the demons have kept track of where the Winchester family is at all times out of fear in order to keep far away. [[Belphegor]] later attempted to use [[Lilith's Crook]] to gain power in Hell, but was [[3smiting|smote]] by Castiel, preventing this plan.09 Malleus MaleficarumAccording to [[Ardat]]), Belphegor spent centuries waiting for his chance after all of the other leaders were killed.
Dean spends four months Following her sacrifice to save the world, [[Rowena]] seized power as the new Queen of Hell despite only being a damned soul.<ref name="fifteen08">[[15.08 Our Father, Who Aren't in Earth time in hell, but he reports Heaven]]</ref> The demon Gregor indicated that time passes differently thereRowena had begun reshaping Hell for the better, and holding receptions for newly-arrived souls rather than immediately condemning them to the endless lines Crowley devised or the torture Hell is famous for him it was more like forty years (.<ref name="fifteen13">[[415.10 Heaven And Hell13 Destiny's Child]]</ref> Rowena also put crossroads demons out of a job by ending the practice of making demonic [[deals and pacts]]), believing that all souls will end up where they're destined to go upon death. This makes 3 days on earth roughly equivelant to a year in hell<ref name="fifteen15">[[15.15 Gimme Shelter]]</ref>
During his time in Hell, Dean was tortured and each 'day' his wounds would be healed, ===Creatures and Denizens===Human [[Alastairsoul]] would offer s can get sent to stop it, if dean would become a torturer of souls himself. After '30 years' in hell (or 3 months on Earth) Dean accepted the offer Hell after making [[Deals and started torturing souls. According to Pacts|deals]] with [[Alastaircrossroads demon]] s or other demons with the authority to make deals such as [[JohnAzazel]] spent some time in Hell, this was reveled in and [[4.16 On The Head Of A PinLilith]]. Alastair also made the same offer to John that he made for [[DeanHellhound]]s capture then kill the person when their their time is up. Once in Hell, John took a soul will be tortured for centuries until the pain and last vestiges of their humanity are burned away, creating new demons to continue the cycle of torture . The length of time it takes for 100 years a human to become a demon is unknown, but may be dependent on a soul's endurance to the torture it endures, as John Winchester spent a century being tortured, and then he finally gave into Alastair’s was able to escape Hell in his human form and refuse Alastair's offer, choosing to endure his torture rather than inflicting it onto others. Some demons appear Like entry into Heaven, the criteria for a person being damned to Hell beyond selling one's soul is based on their life choices, however if a person is killed by a hellhound, their souls will be able dragged to move freely between Hell and the mortal realm eg [[Azazel]]regardless, as shown with [[AlastairEileen Leahy]]. Others are trapped and can only escape through portals such as Devil's gates.
When a demon is exorcisedHuman souls can remain in Hell for centuries before turning into demons. Souls that have escaped Hell, it returns to hell whereas the can appear as [[ColtHell Ghosts|skeletal apparitions]] that can manifest and retain their human appearance on earth.{|align="center"|[[File:HellDenzien-1.png|thumb|350px|One of the tortured inhabitants of Hell.]]|[[File:HellDenzien-2.png|thumb|350px|Another tortured human [[Ruby's Knifesoul]] kills, as in obliterates, the demon and the victim.]]|}
*An angel is capable of snatching Once a human soul from has had it's humanity burned away, their once human form gives way to a more mangled and horrific visage turning them into demons. The Pitlonger a demon resides in Hell the stronger they can become, making escape somewhat more easier. As of now that Once Crowley took over Hell, access to to the earthly plane was made more difficult, as he would only allow certain demons, whom he knew he could control topside. However, some demons have been known thing that can snatch a human soul from to get themselves smuggled to the depths of Hell is an [[Angel]] of Godsurface.
==The Demonic Staff of Hell==is also home to various demonic entities:Like * [[AngelAcheri demon]]s– A lower class of demons, that like daevas, can be controlled. Unlike typical demons, Demons have some sort Acheri are capable of manifesting as young children without the need for a meatsuit. * [[Daeva]]s – Savage and animalistic creatures that reside in shadows, and are summoned to act as demonic pit bulls. * [[Hellhounds]] – Originally created by [[God]] to serve as "Creator's best friend", due to their vicious nature, God ordered them to be put down. Lucifer, showing mercy for the creatures saved one, a chain pregnant hound named [[Ramsey]] who was only loyal to Lucifer, which forced her to be locked away in Hell's kennel. Some point after the birth of Demonic commandRamsey's litter, hellhounds were put to work by demons to collect the souls of humans who made [[crossroads]] deals, and drag them to Hell.* [[Hellspawn]] – An unknown creature. This theory has been reveled [[John Winchester]] and [[William Anthony Harvelle]] attempted to trap one at [[Devil's Gate Reservoir]] in many Episodes1995.* ''[[Shedim]]'' – Demonic creatures deemed Hell's most savage and base, that God locked them away in which these episodes completely explained the following: deepest caverns of Hell. So dangerous were the ''shedim'', even Lucifer feared their release unto the world, so much so he permanently scarred [[Asmodeus]] for releasing and trying to control them.* [[Whore of Babylon]] – An Apocalyptic creature that is released from Hell to serve Lucifer by damning as many innocent souls to Hell by acting as a false [[prophet]].

John never gave into the demon's offer and escapes Hell when the [[Devil's Gate in Wyoming]] is opened right before Azazel is killed by Dean. After 30 years, Dean eventually accepts, breaking the first lock on [[Lucifer's Cage]]. Eventually, a group of [[angels]], including [[Castiel]], lay siege to Hell to rescue Dean where Dean's soul is ultimately rescued by Castiel.

[[LilithFile:SamInHell.png|350px|left|thumb|[[Sam Winchester]] in [[Lucifer's Cage]].]][[Sam Winchester]] goes to Hell when he is imprisoned in [[Lucifer's Cage]] along with [[Lucifer]], [[Michael]] and Michael's [[vessel]], [[Adam Milligan]].<ref name="five22" /> He is rescued by [[Castiel]], although his [[soul]]- remained in the Cage until it was retrieved and restored to him by [[Death]]. The damage to Sam's [[soul]] was hidden from him by a mental wall erected by Death. When Sam starts to remember events from the time he was soulless, a crack appears in the First Demon wall and he passes out for 2-3 minutes, re-experiencing his time in Hell. He tells [[Dean]] that Lucifer created, as an act of defiance towards Godthose minutes "felt like a week."<ref name="six13">[[6. 13 Unforgiven]]</ref>
Current Status: DeadSam later has to sneak into Hell as a part of the [[trials]] needed to close the [[Gates of Hell]] and banish all [[demon]]s from the the world, forever. He is able to do this through the help of a rogue [[reaper]] named [[Ajay]], Ajay is able to get Sam into Hell by first taking him into [[Purgatory]] and telling him of a backdoor into Hell. Once Sam locates the entrance, he is transported to one of Hell's dungeons, it's there he is able to locate and rescue [[Bobby Singer]]'s [[soul]]. Together, they escape into Purgatory and with the help of a recently deceased [[Benny Lafitte]] are able to find the [[portal]] back to Earth, where Bobby is finally released unto [[Heaven]].
Sam once again harrows a journey into Hell years later, in order to communicate with Lucifer without opening the Cage. Crowley would accompany Sam and his mother, [[AzazelRowena]]- is, ironically to the only Demon with yellow eyes; this separates him from normal demons. He is extremely powerful, and he is known for creating acts deepest section of chaos and mischief. In 1972, apparentlyHell, Azazel was the very first demon referred to discover the location of Lucifer's as "cage doorLimbo.". Apparently Lucifer was imprisoned some-where deep with the the convent of St. Mary's, it was there that Lucifer gave Azazel his first mission, which was to find a <br clear="very special childall", in other words, [[Sam]]. >
Current Status: Dead ==Entry & Escape from Hell==[[Azazel]] was able to move freely between Hell and Earth, and [[Alastair]] appeared to be able too, as well as [[Crowley]]. [[Castiel]], and other [[angels]] have been able to enter and return, though at a cost as entering Hell for angels can be very dangerous.
==='''White Eyed DemonsIn the rare instance that a human [[soul]] is able to escape from Hell, unless there is divine intervention, a damned soul cannot gain entry into [[Heaven]]. There have been only three known exceptions to the rule:[[Dean Winchester]], who was sent to Hell after his [[crossroads]] [[deal]] came up, but upon being killed by the [[hunter]] duo of [[Walt and Roy]], Dean was allowed entry into Heaven in order for the angel [[Joshua]] to pass along a message from [[God]] to the Winchesters. After [[Bobby Singer]] was killed by the [[Leviathan]] [[Dick Roman]], Crowley ensured through the use of the rogue [[reaper]] [[Ajay]], that Bobby would end up in Hell. Bobby was later rescued by [[Sam Winchester]] for the second [[trial]] to close to Gates of Hell, which required that "An innocent soul has to be rescued from Hell and delivered unto Heaven", which allowed Bobby entry. For years it was unknown what became of [[John Winchester]] after his escape from Hell, after the second death of [[Mary Winchester]], [[Castiel]] confirmed that John was in Heaven with Mary, telling Sam and Dean that Mary was with "John, and there's no sorrow. There''===s no guilt. Just joy."
===Angelic Rescue===Castiel reported that [[Alastairangel]]- is the Grand Torturer of s laid siege to Hell, he is known for having tortured to rescue [[DeanWinchester]] and [[John]] Winchester. He is extremely powerfulbefore he broke the first seal, according to [[Ruby]]but did not reach him in time. Alastair has displayed great amounts of Demonic strength and resistant’s; even after his First Meatsuit was destroyed by Anna's angelic blast when she retrieved her graceEventually, apparently it didn't kill him, instead, his meatsuit was ultimately affected by the blast. <sup>[[4Castiel who pull Dean from Hell.15 Death Takes A Holiday]]</sup>
Current Status: Dead in ===Devil's Gates===The majority of Hell's occupants are trapped and can only escape through portals connecting Hell and Earth known as [[Devil's Gate]]s.
*It must be noted that[[Samuel Colt]] built a giant [[Devil's trap (symbol)|devil's trap]] and a special lock to keep the [[Devil's Gate in Wyoming]] shut. When [[Jake Talley]] used [[the Colt]] to open the gate, Lilith is both a high-tier scores of [[demon]]s escape, as well as a white eyed demondo [[soul]]s including [[John Winchester]].

The mouth of the Cage was heavily secured by 600 locks. Only a fraction of these, according called [[the 66 Seals]] needed to herbe broken to release Lucifer. The four individual rings belonging to the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]], once merged together, could also open the Cage. Once secured, not even Alastair knew her true purpose, as it has been said many times, only Lilith knew her true mission[[archangels]] can leave the Cage without a door being opened from the outside.
Current Status: Dead[[Castiel]] says that Lucifer's Cage is too well-guarded for even [[angel]]s to access,<ref name="six07">[[6.07 Family Matters]]</ref> but it is revealed that he tried to free [[Sam]], bringing out his body but not his [[soul]].<ref name="six20">[[6.20 The Man Who Would Be King]]</ref> The leprechaun, [[Wayne Whittaker]] claimed to know how to use "real magic" to gain access to the Cage to retrieve Sam's soul.

It is hinted that collecting [[SamhainHeaven]]- once Samhain has risen, he is able 's weapons could give one the power to raise ghosts, zombies, release [[Lucifer]] and ghouls and unleash them onto the world.

===God===
After [[Chuck]] declared it "the End" of Sam and Dean's story, he opens a crack in the earth unleashing the souls of the damned onto earth. The demon [[Belphegor]] reveled to Dean that while in Hell, every single door "sprang open all at once", the sky cracked and all the souls, an estimated 2-3 billion escaped to earth. God released all of the souls and demons by opening [[Portal|the Rupture]], a giant tear in the ground of a cemetery in Harlan, Kansas leading into Hell itself. The Rupture was later closed by Rowena, Sam and Dean with the ''Sanetur Acre Vulnus'' spell and Rowena sacrificed herself to send all of the souls and demons back.
===Purgatory Portal===
[[File:HellEntrance-Purgatory.jpg|thumb|350px|left|The backdoor into Hell, located in [[Purgatory]].]]
In [[Purgatory]], there is a portal that acts as a backdoor to Hell. Anyone with access to this portal, such as rogue [[reaper]]s, can sneak in and out of Hell and take [[soul]]s with them. The entrance is located along a stream leading to where three trees meet as one, a large rock covers the entrance, once removed the the portal resides in a dark hole, which leads to a dark corridor in Hell.
