I Really am not understanding my daughter. She and her mother had a good relationship but she is expressing indifference and a little bit of joy at the idea of her mothers incarceration. I guess it is maybe due to her age? If she was a little older maybe she wouldn't have such childish thoughts

It does seem a little strange that she's handling it in this way, especially since her and her mother haven't had a negative relationship. It could definitely be her age, and the thought of possibly having a "vacation" from her usual rules and responsibilities, and there is a chance that, once her mother goes to jail and the reality of the situation sets in, she could become very upset about it. I would still recommend talking to your daughter about her feelings on everything, and keeping open lines of communication with her. That would be the only way to really know for sure how she's feeling about the situation. ]
