My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois
she is going to prison for a year for forgery charges. I wonder once she goes if I should take my 13 year old daughter to visit her, but I am not sure I want my daughter to be inside a prison environment
it has nothing to do with her mother, she made some stupid mistakes but she is not a bad, irredeemable person in my opinion nor was she a bad parent to my child other than this, but it is the environment I wonder about. Also, seeing her mother as a prisoner might be another bad image.
Also, some might feel that since she participated in an illegal activity she should not receive visitors and it would be bad for us to go.
Maybe not visiting for a year is probably better than going through that hassle. (since I hear it is one to get to visit anyone anyway). I don't even know if I should go myself
