Sentencing Guidelines For Measure 11 Crimes

"Sentencing guidelines" is the name of the sentencing system that Measure 94 seeks to re-establish, by repealing Measure 11.

This chart shows sentencing guidelines sentences for each of the Measure 11 crimes. This information is based on the 2000 Sentencing Guidelines Grid produced by the Steven Skelton, Lane County District Attorney's Office.

The sentences shown are in months and do not include the "good time" reduction in prison term. This reduction can be up to 20% and is 17% on the average.

How to Use the Chart

1. Find the crime in the left column.
2. Find the criminal conviction history of the offender in the top row.
3. The intersecting cell shows the "presumptive" sentence in months.

The judge may "depart" from the presumptive sentence under specific circumstances. See the Departures section below the table for details.
