say that taking my daughter to visit her mother in prison is a good thing because it will "show her where she doesn't want to end up" or "What happens when you break the law". Does that seem a good way of thinking?

Yeah, that is a good way of thinking. It will definitely show her that she won't be happy there and that if she does break the law, that's where she will end up. Although don't go into detail if you go and try to talk to her about it. She knows prison isn't a good place to be but I'm sure going there will show her that she doesn't want to end up there.

I don't necessarily see anything wrong with that way of thinking. Honestly, when I was younger, one of my parents got arrested several times, and just experiencing that has made me steer clear of that type of behavior. You should try to make sure that your daughter understands that her mother may have made a mistake, but that doesn't make her a bad person, and she still needs to respect her. I'm not sure how well your daughter gets along with her mother right now, but judging by your previous question about her almost seeming happy about her going to jail, it may be a good idea to try to get to the root of what her possible issues with her mother might be.
I hope I've helped. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do the best I can with the information I'm given.
