To amalgamate and provide a little extra context to what Shin'ar and kdsii have said, the only mention of anything close to 'Hell' in the Bible by Jesus is 'Shaol/Sheol' which was a type of holding place in the Jewish religions afterlife structure. I believe it had to do with a resting place for souls who had already lived their lives but were waiting for the return of the messiah and the judgment. In this place Shaol, they are completely separated from everything and anything; it is meant to embody complete isolation. This leads to eventual reunion, but for the time spent in Shaol, a soul is left completely separate from God.
In many ways, this is what I actually understand the concept of Hell to be anyways; a place of no care, no compassion, no love. And what is more tortuous than being alone? Drives a man crazy. Despite this, Hell was a creation of the Catholic church around the turn of the first millennium. Like others have mentioned, it was a way to put imagery to a very deep fear and gain more control over people's MO.
Implying STS and Hell being inherently connected is tricky in that the STS is not necessarily a place of great isolation. Like Lucifer here on this sphere, even the most vile and evil deeds can be performed for the greater love and in service rather than spite. Also, I would imagine the higher levels of STS action being the exploitation of people of their own volition; when people sign up with a smile to be taken by you, you are neither alone but you are also not in service to others (unless you really wanna go down the Law of One rabbit hole, as everything will always come back to the same damn thing...
