Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of research conducted in Closed-Type Penitentiary 9, evaluating the combined effectiveness of interview techniques and the polygraph in transforming insincere declarations into authentic confessions. The study involved two recidivist inmates with significant criminal histories and utilized techniques such as P.E.A.C.E., the Reid Technique, and polygraph testing. The results showed that the staged and coordinated application of these methods led to modifications of the initial declarations and the unveiling of hidden information, demonstrating the efficiency of the integrated approach in facilitating the sincerity of subjects. The research underscores the importance of combining psychocriminalistic techniques with the polygraph in criminal investigations, offering practical insights into how these tools can be used to obtain authentic confessions in the penitentiary environment.
