Mumbai, Aug 21: The Harmony Foundation mourns the passing of judge Frank Caprio, the beloved American jurist whose compassion in the courtroom touched millions worldwide. Founder-Chairman Dr Abraham Mathai said his loss leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who witnessed his kindness through viral courtroom moments and his acclaimed TV show, Caught in Providence.

“Judge Frank Caprio was the recipient of the prestigious Mother Teresa Memorial Awards for Social Justice 2023 and was felicitated for his extraordinary humane approach to addressing offenders in the courtroom. The award honoured his lifelong commitment to promoting peace, harmony, and social justice through empathetic jurisprudence”, Dr Mathai added.

The late judge Frank Caprio was the true epitome of justice and the very personification of integrity and compassion. Judges are often co-opted into the system by regimes out of step with justice to defend the status quo, yet this wasn't the case with the late judge Caprio."This embodiment of justice and compassion whose memory we are honoring truly revolutionized the outlook of the judicial and legal system from being viewed as punitive to restorative." said Dr.Mathai

Dr Mathai said that as we honour the legacy of judge Frank Caprio today, the Harmony Foundation extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the countless lives he touched with his kindness and wisdom, both in the courtroom and beyond.
