Hell yes! I had a record when I was 18 - I'm now 74 and have been raising children ever since. Having a record doesn't make you unqualified to raise children.

When would one parent get sole custody of children?

If you are a father. You must prove the mother unfit, drugs, abuse, prison record, etc... IF you are a mother, depending on the state you live in they would allow soul custody because you are the mother. If the father is unfit and you live in Utah and/or California where they are for the father as well and want to do joint custody in most of those two states, the father must pretty much be unfit such as abuse, drugs and/or prison record for the mother to get full custody. That is pretty much when the only time I have known any parent to get full custody of their children.

Your 15 year old daughters father has sole custody of her at this time he is in prison what are your rights as her mother?

If he is is currently in prison, then OBVIOUSLY he does not have custody of her. Notify the court immediately, and file an Emergency Motion For Modification of Child Custody, so that her custody can lawfully changed to you, or another adult of the court's choosing, who CAN assume full-time responsibility for her.

Can a father that is in prison take away your son?

No. Of course not. There's no way he can take your son away. Only a court can do that and a court is not likely to grant custody to an incarcerated father. Ignore him and find your backbone.
