*** U.S. Parole Commission to restrict computer access The U.S. Parole Commission will restrict computer use by certain high-risk, convicted criminals who have been released from prison on parole, the Justice Department said Monday. It said the panel made the decision Dec. 4 after noting information was available on the Internet and computer online services involving offenses such as child molestation, hate crimes and illegal use of explosives. An official said, "We cannot ignore the possibility that such offenders may be tempted to use computer services to repeat their crimes."
