"What I'm wondering is, aren't there werewolves in the forbidden forest as 
well?  I seem to remember either Draco or Ron stating in exclamation, 
(before entering the forest), "..they're werewolves in there...".  Well, 
then are we to assume that when there isn't a full moon, that there are 
regular men walking around the forbidden forest?  I find that hard to 
believe with all the other monstrous creatures about!  Also, is there a 
spell on the boundaries of the forest keeping all the creatures inside of it 
or do they stay within the forrest on their own free will?"

The thing is, we actually know very little of what actually lives within the 
Forbidden Forest. Here's a list of what has been encountered  in the Forest:
-Unicorns
-Centaurs
-The Ford Anglia
-Aragog and the spiders
There are probably others, but I can't think of them now.
The stuff about werewolves, I think, is simply a rumour. Tom Riddle accused 
Hagrid of raising werewolf pups, but that is highly unlikely, and the fact 
that werewolves are human most of the time makes it unlikely they would 
spend all that time in the Forest.
The reason the forest is "Forbidden" could be for some other reason more 
than life threatening danger, such as Aragog, but I won't go into that.
As for a spell binding the creatures into the Forest, I think it is very 
possible, except I can't  think of any canon to back it up.
