Redemption Hill was a New Zealand reality series that followed 10 teenagers identified as being likely to enter a life of crime. The teenagers were selected from a call for participants throughout New Zealand, many nominated by their parents

Redemption Hill involved a course of discipline and adventure activities, as organised by a "warden" (Steve Boxer). It also involved time behind bars in Napier prison, which was decommissioned in 1993 and subsequently turned into a tourist attraction.

The show was filmed on location at Napier Prison, New Zealand's oldest prison.

A year after the show was first broadcast, just before midnight on 20 April 2007, teen participant Aaron Mark Lambert was killed in a high-speed crash in his home town of Hamilton.

On the 28 July 2009, another show participant Jesse Young died following an accident where he was hit by a motor vehicle.
