Culligan's Inferno is described as a spiral structure like a drain, with worse sins located farther down. It is divided into 9 circles punishing different types of sinners. Oprah is the guide, chosen as someone trustworthy and powerful. Circles punish the selfish, liars, prejudiced, greedy, cheaters, thieves, murderers, abusers/rapists, and dictators/terrorists with psychological and physical torments fitting their sins.
