After being set up by Bella, Sam and Dean are arrested and put into a cell in Monument, Colorado, awaiting transport to a maximum security facility. While there they discover a number of the authorities are possessed, and the jail itself is besieged by about 30 possessed townspeople. They are offered help by Ruby, but decide her solution is too costly, and devise their own way of escaping from the jail. —Ron Kerrigan <mvg@whidbey.com>

Trivia
The title is a direct reference to a plot element. Jus in bello means "justice in war" and refers to the guidelines for "fighting well" once war has begun.

Goofs
In the episode Dean and Sam along with Nancy, Henriksen, and the deputy put salt and demon traps at every window and door in the station. Later the deputy breaks one of the lines of salt, which allows Ruby to get in, though they never explain why he does this. He does nothing else "evil" in the episode as he helps the brothers with their plan the rest of the episode. He wasn't possessed as he would have gotten caught in the demon trap under the window like Ruby did when she got in. They never give us a why? In the plot of the episode it was for Ruby to get in but is makes no sense for the character. It seems like big character error.
