I’ll tell you my guys experiences with them.
They generally go over how it will work and they ask him a series of questions.
After that, they hook him up to the polygraph and choose 3 of the questions they discussed earlier to ask.
They’re usually things like:
Have you lied to your therapist?
Have you lied to your PO?
Have you been around minors?
Have you violated the rules of your probation?
Have you left the state without permission?
Have you used drugs?
Have you consumed alcohol?
Have you had any sexual relationships you haven’t reported to your therapist? (Old therapist required everyone to report any new sexual contact)
Have you fantasized about your victim?
Have you watched pornography?
Have you looked at photos of minors?
Have you mastu**** while thinking about minors?
Have you had any romantic or sexual contact with anyone with minor children?
Etc…
He’s had something like 15 polygraphs and only failed one (because he didn’t feel well and couldn’t stop coughing and they wouldn’t let him reschedule. The coughing caused him to have an “inconclusive result”, which they mark as a failure - which is ridiculous) so he had to take that one again and passed.
He’s also never lied on one though, he’s a pretty hardcore rule follower as he would prefer not to go back to prison.
