What was the convicts sentence time for stealing bread?
Too broad a question to answer. Which convict? Where? Jon Val Jean in "Les Miserable's?" ---- There is a simple answer for that with regard to convicts who were sent to Australian colonies. Sentence time (or transportation) was usually in increments of seven years. Stealing a loaf of bread usually resulted in a seven year sentence. The next stage up was fourteen years (depending on the magistrate's mood at the time), 21 years, or "for the term of his natural life".

Where did the British prisoners go once they finished their sentence?
Most of the convicts sent to Australia stayed in Australia after their sentence was completed, or after they achieved a free pardon. Australia offered far more opportunities for employment and to make a decent living than Great Britain did at the time. Many of the convicts married other convicts, or free settlers who came over, and they would be given land grants or the means to start their own trade.
