Important Sentencing Notes

  • Mandatory Minimum: The 90-month (7.5-year) mandatory minimum cannot be reduced by plea agreements, mitigating factors, or judicial discretion.
  • No Good Time: Measure 11 sentences must be served in full. No earned time credits or early release programs apply.
  • Sentencing Above Minimum: While the floor is 90 months, judges may impose sentences up to the 20-year statutory maximum based on aggravating factors, criminal history, victim impact, and other circumstances.
  • Heuristic Estimate: The educational estimate shown is based on a weighted model considering criminal history and aggravating factors. It is NOT an official guideline and does not replace legal advice.
  • Post-Prison Supervision: After serving the prison term, defendants are typically subject to a period of Post-Prison Supervision (PPS) with specific conditions.
  • Consecutive Sentences: If convicted of multiple offenses, sentences may run consecutively, significantly increasing total time in custody.
  • Plea Negotiations: While prosecutors may reduce charges in plea agreements, any Measure 11 conviction must carry at least the mandatory minimum.
  • Educational Tool Only: This calculator provides general information. Every case is unique. Consult with a qualified Oregon criminal defense attorney for advice specific to your situation.
