I have been posting verses from Ocean of Compassion that describe the hell regions as taught in the Tibetan tradition. In early stages of the Path, meditation on the hells is for developing the attainment of "fear of lower rebirth." This helps to create the causes for one to act virtuously and avoid vice. In the later stages of the Path, Bodhisattvas meditate on the sufferings of others in the hell realms in order to spur themselves on to greater effort in traveling the Path to Buddhahood. Because of Bodhisattvas great compassion, they are greatly pained by the thought that others are suffering in hells and will continue to suffer in the hells, and this is what causes them to exert effort to become Buddhas in order to lead others out of this suffering.
