Prison Pups
They're some of New Zealand's worst criminals, yet they're finding unconditional love behind bars. We go inside Auckland Women's Correctional Facility to meet four offenders and their canine cellmates. These wonder dogs are helping hardened criminals, society and the disabled.

A Killer Transformation
A high school Cinderella story ends in murder. All her life she'd been an ugly duckling! But things change dramatically for Christine Paolilla when the cool kids take her under their wing and turn her into Miss Irresistible. So why dis she turn a gun on the very girls who made her popular?

The Christmas Miracle
A miraculous story of human survival. A plane plummets from the sky, slams into the side of a volcano, hits a tree and splits into two jagged parts. No one should survive, but for 52 -hours, 12-year-old Frankie Lewis, trapped upside down in the freezing rain, her face mere inches from the crushed cabin roof, clings to life and is rescued on Christmas Day.

Body Beautiful
She is a living artwork - making a fortune off her own human canvas. Ariana Page Russell has turned her skin disorder, dermatographia, into an artistic obsession. Using the blunt end of a knitting needle, she scratches her skin and photographs the hivelike welts that result. The art world is lapping it up and paying a fortune for the photographs!

The best of New Zealand and international current affairs - 20/20 - presented by Miriama Kamo with reporters Sonya Wilson, Beth Roche and Hugh Hughes.

Catch 20/20 on Thursdays at 9.30pm on TV2.
