Also to dead men was good news preached

Sunday 2020.05.31
Readings from the first epistle of Peter, Young's Literal Translation.

What does proclaiming the good news to the dead mean? Where are the dead?
Are they existing in a hidden world? When will the dead be judged, along with the living?
Are they the same as those spirits "in prison" to whom the Lord went also to preach?

1 Peter 3:19 YLT
19 in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach,

1 Peter 4: 5,6 YLT
5 who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead,
6 for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may
  be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.
