A large group of All Blacks players and management took a different approach on how to spend a day off in Argentina - hosting a training session at a maximum security prison.

Mental aptitude coach Gilbert Enoka, scrum coach Mike Cron and 13 All Blacks players visited the Fundacion Espartanos Prison in San Martin where they trained with 60 prisoners who form the facility's Spartans rugby club.

Awesome day visiting Fundación Espartanos Prison. These inmates are apart of a programme that has a restorative approach to re inter-grating them back into society. Rugby plays a vital role in their learning #Teamwork #Respect - blessings brothers the future is bright ❤️ pic.twitter.com/651ZnPvU74

The session lasted about 90 minutes and the All Blacks gave the Spartans a signed shirt which the prisoners will hang in their club headquarters, and performed a haka.

El Rugby te hace soñar que puede haber un Mundo Mejor. Los All Blacks demuestran que son los mejores adentro y fuera de la cancha. Jugaron con "Los Espartanos" en la Carcel de San Martin, Chapeu !!! pic.twitter.com/E34cEHsBRb
