I told her mom did the wrong thing and is rightfully serving her punishment. They have a good relationship. The main problem I have is she will see her mom in a jail jumpsuit and see guards and other inmates that could be intimidating. Is that ok for a 15 year old to see? Actually my daughter does not seem scared but instead seems excited and enthusiastic to visit. This is strange to me. Do you find this normal? My daughter seems to find the idea of her mom having to wearing a uniform, sharing a room funny. I wonder why she would think it is funny. My wife says bring her if she would like to and my daughter says she would like to but I don't know if it is a good idea. She hasn't gone yet so we can still discuss it together.

As for the bolded part... think back to when you were her age and some of the things you thought were funny and/or exciting that you look back on now and wonder "what the **** was I thinking back then?"
She'll eventually grow out of that way of looking at certain things/situations.
If anything, visiting a prison and seeing what it's actually like inside as a prisoner, might wise her up rather quickly to the seriousness of the situation.
