It depends on a number of factors. Only your criminal defense attorney can tell you based on full review of your file and the charges and past conviction. Understand, your parole is actually a sentence done outside jail. Soooooo, parole is revoked and probably in addition to the time you need to serve for that violation (plus any ehancements), the time you serve for breaking and entering (plus any enhancements, restitution, fines), etc.
So, get yourself a public defender or private criminal defense attorney (www.attorneypages.com or Illinois state bar):
