Burglary of a habitation is a second degree felony. Theft of property valued between $1500 and $20000 is a state jail felony.

State Jail Felonies require a minimum of 180 days in a state jail and can be as long as 2 years

Second Degree felonies require a minimum of 2 years and a max of 20 years in Prison.
