Indulgences can be earned by doing certain spiritual exercises, such as pilgrimages, to lessen the punishment for sins.
Indulgences are not forgiveness for future sins. They are a lessening of punishment in Purgatory for sins already forgiven. Indulgences are gained by certain spiritual and corporal works of devotion but paying for indulgences ended with the Council of Trent.

To take the eternal punishment of our sins
In Dante's Inferno, the punishments suffered by sinners are directly related to the sins they committed in life. The severity of the punishment reflects the severity of the sin. Each punishment is meant to symbolize the spiritual consequences of the sin.
In Dante's "Inferno," punishment is determined by the principle of contrapasso, where sinners experience a punishment that corresponds to their sins. For example, fraudulent individuals are forever immersed in boiling tar, reflecting how they deceived others and were themselves never at peace. Through contrapasso, Dante illustrates the idea that the consequences of one's actions are intertwined with the sins themselves.
The consequence to sins is a very grisly punishment.
An indulgence is a remission of the temporal punishment for sins already forgiven.
Punishment for sins corresponds to the actual sinful act.
