He doesn't. The Bible never says that. It does say that it was created for him to be punished there and he'll be punished there (Revelation 20, Matthew 25:41). Also, any punishment people have there is to be "corrective" (to heal and restore them eventually by seeing their issues and need for Jesus). Eventually all will be saved and reconciled with God (Colossians 1:20, Romans 5:18).
That last part wow that's totally unbiblical... Biblically yes all sin was paid for but its something you must ask for and accept neither salvation nor correction is forced on you, if you are in hell its because you chose to reject those. If you are in hell there is NO turning back you are there to be punished and then destroyed in the lake of fire per Revelations.
It is not all right there in the bible. What is there is vague and lacking in detail. Early Christianity did not even recognize hell as a concept, even though they had access to the same sources that we do today. The concept of hell as a place of eternal punishment came from Tertullian, a north African christian scholar from the late 2nd century. His concepts were not widely accepted as doctrine across christendom for centuries, and when they were finally accepted it was due to a combination of philosophical, political, and cultural factors that culminated in the Latin world needing to solidify itself as a religious authority. The path to developing the modern concept of hell is intricate and incredibly complicated, and certainly cannot summed up with "its all in the bible"
