Page "Polygraph" Paragraph 25

Sexual offenders are now routinely polygraphed in many states of the United States and it is often a mandatory condition of probation or parole.

In Texas, a state appellate court has upheld the testing of sex offenders under community supervision and has also upheld written statements given by sex offenders if they have committed a further offense with new victims.

These statements are then used when a motion is filed to revoke probation and the probationer may then be sentenced to prison for having violated his or her probation.
