In his four-time Emmy-nominated show Caught in Providence, Judge Frank Caprio’s courtroom became a worldwide beacon of compassionate justice—and an unforgettable watch for millions of fans. Now, Judge Caprio brings to the page the same wisdom and spirit of decency that viewers around the world have come to treasure.

From 1985, when he first took the bench, to when he stepped down in 2023, Judge Caprio dispensed true compassion to a continuous flow of regular people in his municipal traffic court in Providence, Rhode Island. His courtroom was a place where defendants were treated with dignity, and where the deserving were given a break—not a pass or get-out-of-jail-free card, but the chance to right their lives and care for their families.

In Compassion in the Court, Judge Caprio shares transformative stories and lessons from his life and courtroom, including:

• Wisdom he gained from his immigrant parents
• Stories shared by individuals of all ages who appeared in court
• How he developed the ability to tell when someone is not telling the truth
• The power of growing up with someone who believed in him—and how he’s tried to provide the same for everyone who appeared before him
• How a person’s worth isn’t measured by the mistakes they make, but by their ability to learn from those mistakes

Judge Caprio’s memories will challenge readers to become somebody—to value their past and their family, to confront their realities, and to believe that, through respect, compassion, and understanding, they can succeed. This book will touch your heart, uplift your spirit, and renew your faith in others and in yourself.

Judge Frank Caprio became an unexpected television and internet superstar while in his eighties! Judge Caprio and his four-time Emmy-nominated television show, Caught in Providence, has amassed over 25 million followers across social media, and his videos have accrued billions of views. His compassionate temperament—unique for a judge—has earned him the title “the nicest judge in the world.” A beloved Rhode Island–based judge and attorney, Judge Frank Caprio is from humble beginnings. His parents were immigrants from Italy who through hard work, devotion to family, and love of their new country and community forged a new life in America. Their sense of responsibility and commitment to service and education was firmly instilled in each of their three sons. Today, Judge Caprio has inspired the world and become the face of compassionate justice.

Last year, RINewsToday ran an exclusive story on Judge Caprio’s author adventure – we rerun it here:

Compassion in the Court: Life-Changing Stories from America’s Nicest Judge – Frank Caprio

July 11, 2024 – Nancy Thomas

Retired Judge Frank Caprio, a true Renaissance man not only for Rhode Island, but for all in the US and beyond who have come to know his compassion and empathy through his television show, “Caught in Providence”, has a book out – and available now for pre-order.

“Compassion in the Court”, Life Changing Stories from America’s Nicest Judge, a hard cover book promises to be a delight and is set to be out soon.

“Life-changing” are words Judge Caprio has come to know over the last two years as he faces pancreatic cancer and being treated with chemotherapy. Over those two years, Caprio completed the book.

For those who have watched his incredibly personal and emotional videos, filled with his love of family and strength of faith, we hold firm that this is a new chapter for the judge and his new book will touch us with humility and humor of his time in the courts.

“One of the motivating factors to write a book was to highlight the great state of Rhode Island, and the City of Providence, which has been my home for my entire life. It’s amazing that proceedings from a municipal court in America’s smallest state could have such a positive impact around the world.” 

Amazon notes about the book, “Caprio’s memories will challenge readers to become somebody—to value their past and their family, to confront their realities, and to believe that, through respect, compassion, and understanding, they can succeed. This book will touch your heart, uplift your spirit, and renew your faith in others, and in yourself.”

When asked if he views RINewsToday.com, Judge Caprio said: “RINewsToday.com is a fantastic resource to find out what’s happening in Rhode Island.”

Thank you, Judge Caprio – we’ll be among the first to order your book.

On December 10th, 2023, we posted this interview between Judge Caprio and Joe Paolino Jr. – the story includes the judge’s original video where he asked for prayers as he faced his cancer challenge:
