Actually you are close. They all refer to Hell.

In Jude it refers to the Angels that sided with Satan and are awaiting the final judgment, not the individual judgment. They are already in Hell.

The other two verses Are Satan being cast into the pit, and they finally being cast after roamng and patrolling the earth: 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

And further in Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

As I said clearly Jesus went to a third place/ state that was niether Heaven nor Hell. These souls were able to be released, ergo purgatory.

It’s not referring to hell, it’s referring to a prison, the same word is used to refer to the bottomless pit where Satan is thrown in Rev. 20:7 -

“7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,”

Then, after his “little season”, we see him cast into hell in verse 10:

“10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

So, yes, Jesus did go to a third place that is neither heaven nor hell, he went to the prison, or bottomless pit, that is reserved for disobedient angels.
