Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that very few people will go to hell, and that it is reserved for only the most wicked: typically only those who have denied God the Father and Jesus Christ even when they knew them personally. This denial has been compared to "looking at the sun and telling it that it does not shine".
Hell is typically called "Outer Darkness", and is the final destination of the soul after Jesus Christ has performed the final judgement. It is the place where Satan and his followers dwell in filth and misery, constantly reminded of their own guilt.
Occassionally, Mormons also refer to a place called 'Spirit Prison' as hell. This is a place where the unrighteous go to await judgement, but it is not permanent. They believe that many of those in 'Spirit Prison' will eventually accept Jesus Christ in the afterlife and also be admitted into heaven.
