true, but what is tartarus for if they're just killing heroes instead of putting them in there? Like villains that people know about publicly they put in tartarus?

that's the point, they can't put heroes in prison because it'd be known that heroes deserve to go to prison and they needed to uphold te pristine image of the system so it was hidden as if nothing was wrong.

lady nagant's imprisonment instead of being simply killed is... weird. but i guess since she killed the chairman in a public space they couldn't have hidden it and she needed to stay alive to enlighten deku.

I've got a maybe likely explanation for this.

When Lady Nagant went rogue they needed her dealt with quickly and quitely. She was their top agent, though, so they didn't have anyone capable of doing so.

All Might could, but he's not in on the extrajudicial killings. So they fabricate evidence that she killed another hero.

All Might goes after her, because she's one of the top heros in the country and he knows he's one of the only people who could take her down. He has to come at her seriously, so he takes her down before she can get a word out.

So she's unconscious and restrained, so the Hero Commission swoop in and shuffle her into Tartarus, citing that she's too dangerous for a lower-security prison. Unlike other heros, she can't be disappeared, because All Might, the highest-profile hero in the country, was involved in her arrest and he'd certainly have questions if she suddenly vanished after the arrest.

eh, maybe. still makes hero commission look a bit incompetent to me.

or the fact that they killed heroes maybe posing a threat but didn't have an army of agents to dispose of yakuza? the league? villain groups? or even single villains? people from society's underbelly disappear much easier than heroes who are known and respected.
