The economically discriminatory effect of the bond system has been controversial and subject to attempts at reform since the 1910s.
The market evidence indicates that judges in setting bail demanded lower probabilities of flight from minority defendants.
See, for example, Frank Murphy's institution of a bond department at Detroit, Michigan's Recorder's Court.
Furthermore, the economic incentives of bonding for profit make it less likely that defendants charged with minor crimes (who are assigned lower amounts of bail) will be released.
This is because a bail bondsman will not find it profitable to work on matters where the percentage of profit would yield $10 or $2
As such, bail bondsmen help release people with higher amounts of bail who are also charged with higher crimes, creating an imbalance in the numbers of people charged with minor crimes (low level misdemeanors) and increasing jail expenditures for this category of crimes.
You might assume that a larger company may imply that they have more experience than a small bail bonds business.
It's important to know that large companies hire many "front line" employees that have little expertise in bail they are simply order takers, akin to a teller in a bank. You wouldn't expect a teller to give you financial advice.
Women are typically more compassionate, caring, and have a stronger attention to detail than men statistically.
Because of the nature of the industry being compassionate and comforting are qualities that benefit the clients in their times of need.
The nature of the bail bonds industry is that a customer usually only contacts a bondsmen when they are in an emergency situation or are experiencing a crisis.
Customers are typically vulnerable, scared, and unsure of what to expect.
This is where a woman’s approach can become more valuable than a man’s to alleviate the concerns of the customer, defendant or family members that are involved in the incident.
