How should I prepare my daughter for a visit to a jail?
her 22 year old sister is in jail for one year for financial crimes. I have decided to allow her younger 17 year old sister to visit but I don't want her to be affected badly by the visit and I am not sure if she really should be in a prison environment, also she might sympathize with her sister and want to "join" her in some weird way or want to get involved in criminal activities as well. I am still wondering if this is a good idea at all. How can I prepare her and what should I tell her beforehand.
is it even a good idea to let her visit?

With all do respect... (I'm expecting bad feedback over this) How long are you going to baby your child. There is a point when you need to let her learn for herself. I agree completely with the other advisor before me. I'm just adding my input to it. I understand you want to protect your daughter, but she is almost a legal adult and you are afraid visiting a family member in jail is going to effect her.... What ever you have taught her up until this point in her life is who she is. You should know how she reacts to situations and influences. So I think with the fact that you have to even ask this question you are showing that you don't know your own daughter. Possibly because you spent so much of your time thinking helping and worrying about your other daughter. I'm just simply profiling right now and I could be totally off and wrong. Only you can verify the validity and truth behind what I'm saying. So ma'am. If I am correct.... I think you need to just let her go see her sister and then start spending time with her to see who it is that you raised and get to know her on a more personal and friend like level. That will tell you how much you can trust her with what she sees hears and experiences. Then you won't have to ask jerks like me. ;)

I understand what your saying but if she wants to see her sister you should take her just have a talk with her about like she could end up in there too if she isn't careful so she will know not do anything like what her sister did to land her in there too cause younger sisters look up to the older ones and want to follow in their shoes to make them proud sometimes or if you are worried that it might not be a good environment for her you can just have them talk on the phone and write it's just one year they could wait aa year and the older sister should understand.I hope that I helped you good luck.

If your daughter wants to visit her sister, I think you should let her. Your daughter in prison likely needs all the support she can get, although I don't know much about your situation. My best advice though is to follow your intuition. If you think it will be bad for both of them, be hesitant.
