should I allow my younger daughter to visit her incarcerated sister?
her older sister who is 22, is in jail for a year for fraud related charges. I wonder If I should take my other daughter who is 17, to visit her, but I am not sure I want her to be in a prison environment. I also hear it is a hassle to get in and you don't even get much time to even speak. Also seeing her sister in jail may also be a bad influence or image. Also, I don't want to give the younger daughter the idea we are encouraging or enabling her sister. If I do allow her what should I say to her beforehand?

Why not present the idea to her that while you don't approve of what she did that her younger sister can decide on her own to visit or not.
They have a bond and despite what her older sister did that love doesn't break. Let your younger daughter decide whether she visits or not. You aren't enabling anyone if you visit your daughter or her sister in jail.
Just because that's where she is does not mean you turn your back on her as parents or a family. That would send a very nasty message. Your younger daughter will no doubt get the image of where you end up if you break the law from it. Just tell her the truth about the situation and let her decide. She's an adult now and fully capable of saying what she wants to do.
