Ohio Correctional Officer Practice Exam

The community bond is not recognized as one of the four traditional types of bonds that allow for an inmate's release. The primary types of bonds include an own recognizance bond, which permits release based on a promise to return for future court appearances without the requirement of bail; a cash bond, where the full bail amount must be paid in cash for release; and a surety bond, which involves a third party (often a bail bondsman) providing the court with a guarantee for the bail amount on behalf of the inmate. Community bonds, on the other hand, do not fit within the conventional bonding framework typically utilized in correctional settings. The focus of the recognized bonds is primarily on financial or personal assurance mechanisms that support a person's temporary release while awaiting trial or court proceedings.
