The interior of Hell seems to consist of endless racks which human souls hang from while being tortured<sup>[[3.16 No Rest For The Wicked]]</sup> The exact structure of Hell remains undefined, although [[Ruby]] reveals "there's a real fire in the pit, agonies you can't even imagine"<sup>[[3.09 Malleus Maleficarum]]</sup> [[Meg]] describes this place as "...a prison, made of bone and flesh and blood and fear"<sup>[[2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign]]</sup> [[Angels]] can bypass Hell's defenses, allowing them to enter Hell and retrieve human souls while in groups as Castiel and other angels laid siege to Hell to save Dean. [[Death]] can enter Hell and bring [[souls]] back to Earth, as shown when he retrieves Sam's soul from [[Lucifer's Cage]]. The Ruler of Hell has limited access to Lucifer's Cage, as [[Crowley]] was able to raise Sam's body from the Cage after assuming command over Hell.
Human [[souls]] can also get sent to Hell after making deals or agreements with [[Crossroads Demon]]s or other [[demon]]s. [[Hellhound]]s capture then kill the person when their their time is up while [[Reapers]] escort their soul to Hell.
