Remembering Judge Frank Caprio: America’s Nicest Judge
Judge Frank Caprio, the beloved Providence Municipal Court chief judge and star of Caught in Providence, has passed away at 88 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Known worldwide for his compassion, empathy, and sense of justice, Caprio touched millions with his humanity from the bench.
A few months ago, I had the privilege of traveling to Miami to interview him in person at his home, surrounded by his family. We shared a heartfelt, candid conversation about his life, his values, and the lessons he wanted to leave behind. Afterward, we joined our mutual friend Joseph Paolino Jr. for lunch on his boat — a memory I’ll never forget.
In this replay from our Summer Series, you’ll hear Judge Caprio in his own words — thoughtful, funny, and wise. This is one of his final recorded conversations, and it captures exactly why he was known as America’s Nicest Judge.
