In my homebrew world, there are a lot of bandits. The players are in a desert area where bandits accumulate. I wanted to know if it isn't such a long shot for a Lamia to have a bandit gang work for her along with werejackles
Definitely not a stretch in the slightest, though you might also want to consider other individuals that might flock towards a lamia. Bards seeking beauty to inspire them, wizards seeking abyssal knowledge, cultists seeking a figurehead to worship. Perhaps even a druid tends to the lamia's garden, growing blights and other strange and deadly plants and concocting magical poisons.
Typically, based upon lore, they wouldn't have bandits so much as slaves that do their dirty work. Hired hands aren't entirely out of the picture, though.
They might be willing followers of the lamia, lured by lamias silver-tongued promises of wealth and security. Of course, lamia uses them as disposable pawns and henchmen. She could have used magic, like Geas, to charm the bandit leader or, if the group is relatively small, all of them, to strengthen her grip on them and ensure their loyalty.

Bandits in the area that prey upon the people who flock to her presence.
