Good post this week. I would like to touch base on the point you made regarding the use of a polygraph examination prior to an individual being eligible for release. I understand your take on the situation; however, polygraph examinations mainly require "yes" or "no" responses which would not hinder the integrity of client patient confidentiality. Furthermore, if an individual is incarcerated and part of their conditional release would be to submit to a routing polygraph exam to assist in gaining truthful responses, it could be beneficial. Although these exams cannot be used in court, they can and should be allowed in ways that help deter recidivism in those that have been convicted of prior offenses. Once the individual is released to free society without any further requirements as deemed necessary by the courts or parole board, they would also be free from these polygraph exams. To ensure that a polygraph is as accurate as possible, the tester must make sure the individual being tested is calm and relaxed to reduce the effect of emotional state on the results. Please let me know your thoughts on my addition to your post.
