I do not see the need for counseling. That seems to be making this even worse as my daughter seems to be acting pretty fine by accepting her mom is in jail.
any hesitation I have is simply the environment. Main problem I have is she will see her mom in a jail jumpsuit and other inmates and even guards that could be intimidating . Is that ok for a 14 year old to see? Seeing People behind bars basically?
Paragraphs. Use them.

This. Keep in mind that how you treat your wife during this time will color your daughters perception of her for many years to come.My brother was in prison for 10 years.
