So what kind of crimes get you sent to Sheol rather than prison on any given world or station? There are political prisoners and i get that but i thought those were rare high end people but open to being wrong about that. But I guess for no real reason I thought gen pop was mostly mid level enforcer kind of people but we've met no prisoner that fits that type. The Cutters were mindless thugs and kind of a death cult so its makes sense why they're there but the rest of them? I assumed there are no white collar criminal there but I can't point to anything in either book that makes me think that. Take Blue, she seems like she was mostly a thief how does that kind of criminal end up in the darkest hole in the universe? I get the twins, i can't keep track of their names i mostly call them stitch and switch in my head I can see why they went to a special prison, and my guess is liliana accidently killed or harmed someone she shouldn't have, but the rest of them? I'm of course curious about that skill breakdown sheet Greye keeps talking about but i'll wait until it comes up. I guess my question what get you sent to Sheol rather than anywhere else, there haven't been in depth looks at anybody but there doesn't seem to be anything deeply special about most of the people in prison

Each of those is a backstory item that will come up as the characters get more fleshed out in each successive book. All the main girls already have a full story for that. I considered making them short stories unto themselves, but rest assured, nobody the Alliant put on the Sheol is innocent with the exception of the political prisoners who were more "technically" guilty, and they are all there for capital crimes.
The only thing that really differentiates the "good" from the "bad" were the intentions with which they committed their crimes. Lilia's crime is probably the most revealed so far, and book 3 is on her planet so you'll get the full story there. For Reverie, I'll hint at secondary consequences of her actions. The twins I think you can figure out from the context so far, if only in general terms. If Phyra were to be caught and sentenced she'd have all of the war crimes of her people pinned on her. Even Aia has now committed some capital crimes as applied to artificial intelligences.
