<span>The error is more than likely a lie. Less than ten percent of lies are inaccurate. You could also be telling the truth, and be nervous, which could make the polygraph say you're lying. Due to the small chance that the test reported a false positive, the prisoner can contest the polygraph results and request to be tested again.</span>
