We
Hey there. We went for the visit to my wife/daughters mother in jail and it wasn't that horrible. It was with the glass between us. My wife talked about how it's like in jail and told my daughter how many people she is locked up with are young and not much over 18 probably as a way to scare her. Is this a good idea or is it being harsh on my daughter?

I honestly believe it's a good learning experience. It doesn't matter your age, gender, even your health, if you do something wrong, you will be put in jail. I do not believe it is being harsh, I honestly don't believe your wife is trying to scare her. In my opinion, she is, in her own way, telling her, that it doesn't matter your age, if you do wrong, it is where you end up. Whether it scares her or not, is irrelevant in my opinion, so long as she understands what could happen should she break the law. Honestly, if my mate were to go to jail, I would also tell our son, as well as my mate, that if you screw up, it's where you end up. It doesn't matter how old you are. The only time to really worry is if it effects your daughter in a severely negative way. But, if your daughter has not shown any signs of discomforts or anything, then be proud that you both have raised a strong being. Strength now a days is difficult to come by, especially with how most parents are now raising their children. I'm a military brat, so I believe tough love is a good thing.

I'm sure she's just telling the truth and I don't see it as being harsh on your daughter.
Because it is the truth, a lot of young people who are 18 and not much older are in jail. It's good for her to know that.
