question
so I have heard many times to use visiting her mother in jail as a learning experience for my daughter? So what exactly is meant by "learning experience"? Does it mean that it shows that anyone can make mistakes and go to jail and not just the "Bad guys" in the movies? If so, I would say that is not a bad idea.

The use of the term "Learning Experience" can be over used. In your situation I'm not sure i would use visiting her mother or call visiting her mother a "Leaning Experience." Your daughter has already learned the biggest lesson, that being if you break the law you can be sent to prison. Visiting your wife should in itself reenforce that lesson. Something your wife can and should herself remind your daughter of when she visits.
You and you,re daughter need to discuss your visit not to see what she has learned but so you can draw her out on her reaction and how she feels seeing her mother in jail. If she won't speak with you about her visit(s); then as I've said before you should find her a therapist she can talk with. A therapist allows her too speak freely and in confidence about how she is feeling. Something she may not want to or feel she can do with her father.
