I think I visited with my Girl Scout troop back in the day, so in some sense it was probably a scare tactic "Don't do bad things, m'kay?" sort of approach.
But I was actually surprised at how, well, nice the jails were, at least around my area. They had a rec facility, library, pretty decent meals, religious leaders who would come in for those that wanted it, and also some 'job training' guidance so that people could become gainfully employed after serving time.
The officers told us about some of the nastier aspects like fights/thieving that would sometimes happen, but said this was largely confined to the higher security areas. Also the inmates told us that the biggest downside to regular jail is the extreme lack of privacy, and that it's hard to sleep at night because people go a little stir-crazy packed in with each other, especially those that have been there for a while. Depends a lot on whether you're in a "pod" (with about 8 roommates) or whether you just have one bunkmate, and I suppose it depends on what your bunkmates are in for. But the officers said people who commit similar crimes are usually grouped together, so my guess is that your mom is in a low-security area with a bunch of other pretty decent people, and you have nothing to worry about going to visit her.
