should my daughter visit her mother in jail? is there a benefit to visiting?

I think it has been mentioned before but my feeling is that the decision should be your daughter's. If she wants to go, you should allow it and assist her in doing so with a good heart. If she doesn't want to go, you should probably try to find out why but you should respect her wishes and feelings. At 15, this should be her decision.

managed to talk to one of the main guards that works at that jail. She said that since my daughter is a teenagers it is perfectly fine to take her. She also said use it as a learning experience (what does that mean do you think), ask your wife to be honest about what happened, and to simply present it as a punishment for wrong doing. Is this a good idea?

I think you put too much stock in what others think.
I'm not buying any of this as a learning experience until your wife is back home & comfortable again.

I visited a friend in jail, many years ago. The atmosphere was opressive. I assume that a 15 years old girl needs a company by someone she can lean on.
