Yes, Ginjo committed some crimes that can be considered as "evil" or "bad" but when you look at the prisoners of Hell (taking the 4th movie as the only real source we have) you see Szayelapporo for example: He was a mad Arrancar scientist who eviscerated his victims for research purposes, who was sardistic and narcistic. I think, Ginjos "crimes" are lesser than that. Moreover, the Hell was was barely mentioned in the Manga. And the Soul Society can not be considered as the absolute opposite of Hell: If you live your afterlife in the outer districts of Rukongai, chances will be high that you live in poverty until your Soul gets reincarnated into the real world. Your soul isn't even worth for the Shinigami as their duty is to maintain the balance of the living and the dead. If there is any significant inbalance you may get killed (like Mayuri did). Yeah, it's still better than Hell but not a place you would call "Heaven".
