This week, 48 inmates were booked in to Caddo Correctional Center.

The charges for the offences range from parole violations, to attempted murder. Several drunk driving offences were also on this week's list.

Theft and burglary seem to be on the rise considering the number of arrests involving stealing and breaking and entering seen lately. Several of the inmates were booked for having drugs and guns.

Shreveport Police and Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office have been stepping-up efforts to remove guns from the hands of criminals and felons. Many of this week's inmates have charges involving guns.
