My daughter will be going to jail for five months, how will this affect her
my 21 year old daughter will be going to jail for five months (Jail not prison). I wonder how this will affect her life. She was going to college and had a job in her college too. Will she be able to go back to college when she gets out? How will this affect her employment opportunities?
also, I fully support my daughter going to jail (because she committed the crime so I feel she must do the time, also it might be a good learning experience and toughen her up)I will make sure she serves her sentence no matter how much she kicks, cries or begs, but I do wonder how it is like there. I hear that jail guards turn a blind eye to prisoners who get assaulted or attacked, is this true?
Is there anything I can do to help her prepare herself for this?
county jail, she is going to, not prison. I don't know if that changes anything

I really cannot help much with the last part of your question not having or nowing anyone who has ever been in one. I do know a couple of correctional officers and I know they do work hard to insure the saftey of the prisoners as it also insures thier saftey as well. But jails and prisons are under staffed and guards cannot be everywhere at once.
As to the first part of your question. Your daughter should be able to keep up with her college courses while in Jail. Most Jails do offer some type of extentsion education programs. Enrolling in them will help her work towards good time credits for early release.
As for returning to campus. That is probably going to determined based on a number of factors. The crime itself, whether she was convicted of a feloney or misdemeanor, plus I'm sure the school has some sort of policy regarding these types of issues. Also if she is attending a private VS a State Institution probably plays into this as well. These are things you could check into while she is serving her time.
If she is serving time for a misdemeanor she may not have to tell the school. Misdemeanor crimes can be punishable by jail time. A taffic ticket is a misdemeanor crime that does carry jail time if a judge wishes to impose it. This is up to the judge based on request by the prosecution, recomendations by the parole department and the judges on feeling of the perons remorse for the crime.
The same is can be true for future employment. It depends on the job applied for and how the question is asked. If a security clearence is required the crime itself regardless of how charged could disqualify her.
