History

[edit]

In November 1999, the WSPF opened as the Supermax Correctional Institution on a 24-acre (9.7 ha) site.[1]

In October 2003, the prison was renamed to the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility.[5]

In 2009, the Associated Press filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WIDOC), trying to force the agency to release a video of an explosion of a stinger grenade launched into a prisoner's cell.[6] The video was eventually released, the AP was awarded legal fees, and the inmate settled an excessive force lawsuit with WIDOC for US$49,000 (equivalent to $69,590 in 2023).[7]
