In the movie "Hairspray," Penny's dad goes to jail because he is a strict and overprotective parent who disapproves of her friendship with Tracy Turnblad and her involvement in the dance competition. His refusal to accept Penny's choices and his authoritarian nature lead to a conflict that ultimately results in his arrest. The film portrays this as part of the larger theme of parental control and the struggle for personal freedom.
