Bail agents are sometimes stereotyped as a rough and tumble community that must match the perceived decorum of the defendants they serve. However, women are making serious inroads into the bail bonds world and doing it on their own terms. In fact, over half of the licensed bail bondsmen in California aren't actually “bondsmen” at all. They are bail bondswomen. As the female presence grows in the bail bonds industry, they are starting to get much deserved attention for their contributions. For example, Jillian Hughes maintains a blog devoted to female bail bond issues at bail bonds girl which regularly highlights the impact of women in the industry. Evidence of female contributions are everywhere in today's culture, as some of the most famous bail bond figures are women. Beth Chapman, from the hit television show Dog The Bounty Hunter, isn't just a sidekick to her husband Duane Chapman. At age 21, she was the youngest person to ever become a licensed bail bondsman in the state of Colorado and went on to shape the state's bail laws while part of the bail association. As women make more and more of an impact, they are embracing their rightful place in the bail industry and proudly marketing their bail businesses as “woman owned.” Bail agencies, such as Lipstick Bail Bonds, even go as far as to build their brand strategy around female ownership. Lipstick bail bonds uses very feminine, hot pink exotic cars decked out with images of kiss prints to differentiate themselves from the competition. With multiple offices in the Southern California area, the strategy seems to be working. There have been numerous success stories about women who have entered the industry and gone on to build legitimate multimillion dollar businesses. While the competitive landscape of bail bonds can be very challenging, women may actually have an edge. So why are women so successful in the bail bonds industry? Woman are often thought to be more inherently compassionate and nurturing than men, while men are often thought to be more aggressive and callous than females by nature. Considering incarceration can make one feel vulnerable and frightened, could it be that humans intrinsically gravitate towards the assistance of a woman during a time of need? Or could it be that women have simply found a great niche and done everything to maximize it? Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure. The future looks bright for women in the bail bonds industry.
