The Wisconsin Secure Program Facility (WSPF), originally the Supermax Correctional Institution, is a Wisconsin Department of Corrections prison for men, located in Boscobel, Wisconsin. The facility is located east of central Boscobel, off of Wisconsin Highway 133.
In 2009, the Associated Press filed a lawsuit against WIDOC, trying to force the agency to release a video of an explosion of a stinger grenade launched into a prisoner's cell. The video was eventually released, the AP awarded legal fees, and the inmate settled an excessive force lawsuit with the Wisconsin DOC for $49,000.
