Visitors from India travel to Providence Municipal Court and praise its compassionate approach

A woman identifying herself as Sharania and her parents told Judge Frank Caprio they had traveled from India to see his courtroom and meet him after watching court videos online.

Sharania told the judge that "Facebook has been really helpful in, showing all your videos all over the world," and that visitors from India found the personal touch different from their experience at home, where court processes can take much longer. Her parents said they were eager to meet the judge in person.

Caprio told the visitors he appreciated their travel and said he tries to treat people fairly. "All I do is I try to treat people fairly," he said, and encouraged them to visit again and to spread positive impressions about the United States.

The exchange highlighted the courtroom's public profile on social media and the perceived international interest in its style of adjudication; no formal action followed from the visit, which concluded with mutual thanks and good wishes.
