That's among the suggested restrictions (the Telegraph article Lawrence cites
says). I don't know how they think they could do this i.e. stop any and all
instances of computer use before they occur. But see below

we know about this because we know about release on licence. A prisoner on
licence can be "recalled" (returned to gaol) more or less summarily for any
breach of the conditions. (Obviously if the breach involved an indictable
offence there'd also be a trial for that.)
The last released prisoner I know of who broke a licence condition was I'm
pretty sure taken straight back to prison before the trial. At the trial, he
was sentenced to two years -- the tariff for the offence that comprised the
licence breach -- but he may well not be released then.
