[[Image:Luciferscage.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Sam/Lucifer and Michael/Adam fall into the Cage.]]
This Cage was designed as a prison after Lucifer's rebellion. After being banished from [[Heaven]] for defying [[God]], [[Lucifer]] decided to anger God by twisting a Human soul into the [[Lilith|first demon]]. After this, God sent [[Michael]] to imprison [[Lucifer]]. This prison or cage, was locked with 600 Seals. Only [[The 66 Seals|66 seals]] of the 600 had to be broken in order for Lucifer to be released.
This leads to the plan be [[Azazel]] to recruit select children, including Sam and the events that subsequently lead to the breaking of [[The 66 Seals]].
In 2008 After Dean's return from Hell, Castiel reveals that [[Lilith]] is trying to break the seals that lock the Cage in order to free Lucifer. Dean later learns that the first seal was broken when he was in hell, and broke under torture and began torturing souls himself.
Sam continues clandestine missions with Ruby, developing his powers even though this involves drinking [[Demon's Blood]], believing that killing Lilith will avert the Cage being opened.
In 2009, [[Sam]] unknowingly releases Lucifer from his cage by killing [[Lilith]] at [[St. Mary's Convent]]. Lilith is revealed to have been the last of [[the 66 Seals]].
As Sam and Dean attempt to find a way to stop Lucifer and the impending Apocalypse, [[Gabriel]] tells them that the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] all own an individual rings that together form a key-like device that can reopen his Cage anywhere.
After collecting all the Rings, Sam comes up with a plan in which he will allow [[Lucifer]] to posses him, and then force him into the Cage. The initial attempt fails, but when [[Lucifer]] confronts [[Michael]] at Stull Cemetery, Dean activates the rings and as the cage opens, Sam manages to gain enough control to force Himself (and Lucifer) into the Cage. Michael (in possession of [[Adam]]) tries to stop him but is himself captured.
[[Raphael]] continues to work to find a way to open the Cage so that Michael can kill Lucifer.
Sam is subsequently released from the Cage by [[Crowley]], but his soul and Adam's remained trapped in the Cage being tortured by Lucifer and Michael. [[Death]] agrees to retrieve Sam's soul, and return's it to his body, setting up a temporary 'wall' in Sam's mind to prevent the knowledge of what happened in the Cage from destroying him.
Sam refers to his time in the Cage as being "in Hell" <sup>[[6.01 Exile On Main St.]]</sup> and [[Death]] says that he needs to go to Hell to retrieve Sam's soul.<sup>[[6.11 Appointment in Samarra]]</sup>
Sera Gamble described the Cage as being "at the bottom of the lowest depths of the ninth circle of the worst bit of Hell." [http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2010/08/supernatural-season-6.html Source]</sup>.
