prison. Any further advice or comments will be appreicated.

It's extremely unlikely you'd be sent to jail. You'll get a summons
that will tell you when and where you are to appear, and what
law you have broken. You'll stand in front of a magistrate where
you will feel really stoopid, and get a fine, and if prosecuted for
theft, you'll have a record too. If so, the offence will stay on record
for five years. I'm not condoning it, but on the scale of things,
your offence is very minor, so keep things in perspective.

When the summons arrives, take advice from a solicitor.
