The Bronze, Silver and Gold awards encourage young people in more than 130 countries to get active, learn skills, and support the community.
To get the award the young inmates - whose ages range from 17 to 20 - completed outdoor pursuits, volunteered in the prison gardens, built push-bikes, raised money for Women's Refuge.
RNZ youth affairs reporter Katie Doyle was at the graduation ceremony, and filed this report.
