Lets start with breaking and entering. Mississippi does not have a breaking and entering law, it is all defined as Burglary. There are different laws relating to burglary depending on what was burglarized.

97-17-23 - Burglary, Occupied Dwelling

This is burglary of a house and carries a minimum sentence of 3 years and a maximum of 25 years confinement.

97-17-33 - Burglary, other than occupied dwelling

This is burglary of a car, boat, etc. This carries a maximum of 7 years confinement with no minimum. If the burglary occures at a church or other place of worship the penalty can be doubled to a maximum of 14 years.

97-17-43 - Petit Larceny

Petit larceny occurs when the total value of the stolen property is less that $500. This is punishable by up to 6 months in the county jail, uunless it was stolen from a church then the punishment doubles.

Hope this helps. :)

How much time for grand larceny if on probation for petit larceny?

It's completely up to the sentencing judge. If you were on probation for petit larceny and then committed GRAND larceny (a felony crime), the judge could reasonably assume you had not learned your lesson - revoke your petit larceny probation and send you behind bars for the remainder of the sentence - AND then - you would still face court action for the Grand Larceny. My guess is that you're looking at perhaps a year or so - at the very least, least a couple of months.
