In March 2009, lawyer Eduardo "Coco" Oderigo visited the San Martín maximum security prison for the first time. The greatest perception of him: hopelessness. Days later he returned with a rugby ball and trained about 15 people deprived of his liberty, giving way to the creation of the “Los Espartanos” team.

In 2016, with the support of volunteers, donors and companies, Fundación Espartanos was created. The experience of these years allowed us to consolidate a comprehensive social reintegration program that helps reduce recidivism rates from 65% to 5% and is changing the lives of entire families, their communities and society in general.
