Question About Old Polygraph Records

[PolyQuestionGuy]

Hello. I was convicted of possession of _________ (not hard to figure out) back in 2016, and had to take a bunch of polygraphs for Probation of, let's say County A.

I was convicted again of the same thing, like an idiot, in 2021, and just got out of prison basically. The 2nd instance was committed in County A also, but I paroled to a nearby county- County B.

I am probably going to have to do a history polygraph again, probably at a completely different location, especially since I'm not technically allowed to go out of the county. Very small chance I foresee them taking me to the old place.

I am wondering however, if they will have a record of the old polygraph results. Again, the 1st one was for county probation, in County A. The second one will be for State Parole, taken most likely at a location in County B, where I live. However, the crime, both times, was committed in County A.

There are things I'd probably answer differently after thinking about things, and I don't remember exactly how I answered the old questions. I'm worried they could cross-reference the old results if they had access to them and I'd fail just by the inconsistency even if I was being honest.

Does anyone know if either parole, or this polygraph place will have access to the old records & cross-reference them? The latest polygraph I took was from like 8 years ago also. Thank you.

There's no way anyone could know for sure what polygraph record-sharing arrangements exist between two unnamed counties.

It would be safest to assume that information you provided during your previous polygraph might be made available to those conducting your upcoming polygraph.

A polygrapher's determination that your answers to questions are inconsistent with previous answers could reasonably be expected to have the potential to result in adverse consequences for you.
