Сначала я написала I want myself.. - и мне показалось, что там что-то не так... не уверена

Sorry, but none of these translations make any sense. What is the situation? I can't make it out from the Russian or much less from the translations.

Uly, this is clear, ok?
Now we need to put "for visiting me" somewhere, the permission for visiting me. We're confused about the word order here...

But who exactly is visiting who?
Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago
A girl, may be she is in prison, wants to get a permission from a general for visiting her
⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago
The general?
⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago
That makes no sense. For WHO to visit her?
Holy Molyadded a comment 7 years ago
I don't think there are generals in prisons 😊 Generals are in the army.
I thought that she probably wants her boyfriend who is currently in the army to get a leave and come visit her.

In all of these translations, VISIT is missing an argument.
Holy Molyadded a comment 7 years ago
True.
⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago
You’re correct, Olga, prisons have a warden.
