Don't underestimate the powerful effect of honesty. Tell her your reasons for your rules and then let her earn her exceptions. She cleans her room and gets some extra cell time but don't negotiate with her. Reward her for things she does, don't bribe her to do things. Another good tip I've heard several times is to allow small rebellions. A nose ring vs a 16 yearold boyfriend with a motorcycle and a nose ring of his own...
