I dont mind her going to do so. He doesn't know anyone here in this small rural town but her.
But is it too much to ask her to tell me? Why hide it?
How many of you would be okay with this?

I have a friend whom I visit in jail every month. It is embarrassing for me to admit because after all, it is not like he is a war hero. Most my family members don't know it, the only person who knows it is my brother.
The bottom line is that I think you have to put money in their account in order for them to buy necessarties in jail.
My friend in jail has known me for over 10+ years. I can't just abandon him because he did something wrong. (I don't even think he did something wrong to be complete honest.)
I don't want to give my parents a heart attack, so I don't tell them. My parents don't even know what jail looks like. My brother sometimes takes me there, he can sit outside and waiting for me.
I have to say that it is a totally humiliating experience for the visitors. You wait in line, and these inmates don't have names, they only have booking numbers.. Trust me, nobody wants to go visit if they don't have to.
The bottom line is that I don't have any romantic feeling toward this friend. But he is still my friend. One mistake he made in the past ruined his whole life. Our others friends pretty much all abandoned him, they all claim to be the rich OC liberal kids, but they abandon their friend who simply made a mistake? I found it sickening.
He will always be my friend and i still value his friendship.. It is a complicated emotion I really cannot explain.
You don't know why your wife had to visit. But I consider it as some kind of loyalty. It is not necessarily a bad thing.
Try to keep an open mind about it and good luck with that.
