Redemption Hill

'Redemption Hill' was filmed on location at Napier Prison. The reality show followed 10 'out of control' teens and challenged them to get their lives back on the straight and narrow. Treated like prisoners by Steve Boxer and his team of facilitators, the teens had a range of experiences while at the jail and on the programme. The prison also featured on 'Off the Rails' with Marcus Lush, which won Top 2005 Programme. Watch TV 1 News for the results of the Ghosthunters and NZ Paranormal event filmed in 2008.
