Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wyoming

Type of punishment for Burglarly,18 yr.old,1st. time offense

My son is being charged for two counts of burglarly and destrution of property. He has never been in trouble befoe other than traffic tickets. He has grown up as a military dependent all his life and now has left Wyoming because he's afraid to go to prison. I would like to know what kind of sentencing he would most likely get. We are from a small town where they set down harsh punishments. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Thank You...
