How to stop younger daughter from doing criminal activity like her sister
her older sister who is 22 went to jail for one year for fraud related charges. I overheard my younger daughter who is 18 saying that she wants to commit the same crime and try to go to the same prison as her sister because she doesn't want her to be all alone in there. What can I say to her to make her realize she is totally wrong in wanting to do this and she shouldn't follow her sisters footsteps like this? The person I called to talk about visiting said why not bring your younger daughter along for a visit and they can have her older sister and a guard show her around the place and what her daily life his like and hopefully will set her straight. Would that help, or would it just make it worse?

If the prison would do that I think it would be very beneficial. Though I am not aware of any institution that would do so for just one person. There are programs such as scared straight were a prison visit to have inmates talk to the youngsters is part of the program.
If this is something you think would help your younger daughter I would suggest calling your local police department or juvenile service office to find out what programs are available in your area. The program I am calling scared straight is known by many different names and run by different organizations.
You might also explain to your younger daughter that while what she is thinking of doing and her reason for doing so. Might be in some way considered admirable. There is no guarantee she would be put in prison. The judge could give her an alternative sentence which would give her a record that could ruin the rest of her life. If she were to go to prison the prison officials would most likely keep her and her sister separate. Last and most important, by the time she goes to trial for whatever crime she commits she will be by herself as her sister will have served her sentence and either finished it or released on parole.
I believe you wrote before asking about if you should allow your younger daughter to visit. I think you should. In this way she can hear from your older daughter just how rotten prison life can be. You of course should be with her when she visits. Hopefully between you and your older daughter you can dissuade your younger daughter from doing what she is thinking of doing.
If you are the person I think you are. Your older daughter is already 2 to 3 months into her 1 year sentence. With time off for good behavior she would be eligible for early release or parole shortly.

I am 23 and I think that if you took her on a visit so her sister can show her that going to prison isn't the life that she wants, that it would be benificial to her. It would scare the shit out of me I think. If you've tried sitting down with her and telling her why going to prison isn't good for her or her future then maybe seeing it first hand will help her.
Hope this helps! :)

Give her something to live for. It's late now but better late then never. I am 13 and I am christian, my parents are strict and disciplined me and I mature and get honor roll. I know why they discipline me, because they love me. They want me to succeed in life and have a fulfilled life. Tell her you love her and make her feel safe assure her and even if you can't make her do something, tell her what's right from wrong and she'll consider it.
