I have visited someone in jail and found that it is a very clean experience. I simply had to show ID and then wait my turn(it felt very similar to going to the DMV) to talk on a telephone that had a screen. I wasn’t allowed to actually “see” the person except through the virtual video service. I never even saw the inside of the “jail part” of the jail while visiting as the visitor center was in a different building. I didnt see sketchy behavior or conversations from visitors as it is all supervised. All jails are different, but I imagine it is a fairly clean experience at most. Are you concerned that seeing her own mom in jail will make her see crime as more acceptable?
One benefit that I see is that cops don’t find 15 to be too young to be sent to jail, so it may be good to see personally that jail is a “real life” place and what incarceration can be like for the incarcerated and their loved ones. She will be safe but will see a reality of society that most people don’t see everyday. If she was 8, it would be different. But I can see some potential educational value in this depending on the circumstances.

Not necessarily. I’m fine with her talking to mom or even seeing her it is simply the environment, seeing the guards, and inmates, seeing what jail is like etc. interestingly thigh I am hearing for some people that it is OK and 15 is the perfect age.
