It must be a bureaucratic nightmare for the poor devils. Is the paladin allowed "one phone call" with which she might contact her home plane to make them aware of her lawful incarceration? Must the paladin be properly tried for her crimes or can she lawfully petition for a hearing to review her case before her sentencing is carried out? If so, is she allowed legal representation or counsel? Is she assigned an infernal councilor or can she choose her own representative; possibly a member of her religious order or a Celestial envoy from her deity? Does the Nine Hells have a binding extradition treaty with the Seven Heavens which the paladin might seek to exploit? Perhaps both realms have a long standing prisoner exchange program she may be subjected to, whether she wants it or not. It'd be funny for the paladin, during her moment of utter despair, to be told by her jailer that she's about to be plane shifted to the upper planes just as a notorious devil or evil NPC appears nearby; his release from Mount Celestia being the price paid for her own freedom. I think it'd be great fun for the PCs and DM to explore the legal avenues of Hell rather than plot some predictably run-of-the-mill escape attempt scenario. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
