According to Danny Estacado, a previous host of the Darkness Entity, and Nick (who is actually the true Devil that religious stories of Lucifer and The Devil are all based on) that all souls - whether they were good or evil in life - eventually fall into Hell. If you were looking for the criminal underworld, try The Mafia. See also Afterlife Antechamber, which is a waiting room or brief rest stop on the way to the true afterlife. Expect intrepid mortals to mount an Orphean Rescue for a loved one. Despite its normally neutral nature, the Underworld, especially the Greek Mythology version, is susceptible to being Hijacked by Jesus and becoming Hell. See also Heaven and Hell, the Underworld's more exclusive counterparts. Possibly they receive, in due course, a chance to go back. In others, there's no real judgment, and life - or whatever - continues much as it did before. Some versions of the Underworld judge the dead and grant them different living standards (or unliving standards, if you prefer) depending on their conduct in life. All of the dead come here, whether they were saints, total jackasses, or just kinda so-so in life. (The fact that people go there after they die might have something to do with it, too.) Still, it isn't evil. The Underworld is often a gloomy, depressing realm, if only because it is often depicted as being Beneath the Earth.
