You must ask his lawyer as I do not have the facts of the case.

He may be facing prison since he seems to not learn his lesson about not committing crimes.

I would need to see the case file and the facts. However with a prior felony, I would guess, in the range of 5 years.

It depends whether his prior is for burglary and how long ago it was. If he has only one point and there are no other courts or sentence aggravators, then it could be 6-12 months.

Residential Burglary is a Class B Felony which carries a possible sentence of 6-20 years. However, it can be a Class A Felony if a person was injured or if he used a deadly weapon in teh commission of the crime. An A Felony has a sentence range of 20-50 years. If he has 2 or more prior felonies it is also possible that he could have his sentence enhanced (increased) due to him being considered an "Habitual Offender".
