Ballot Measure 11, now codified in ORS chapter 137, imposes mandatory minimum prison sentences to certain serious crimes against persons. Measure 11 originally applied to 16 offenses and has since been amended to include a total of 21. Persons convicted of Measure 11 offenses receive no parole or reduction of sentence for good behavior while in prison. The information presented about the accused, and the circumstances of the crime is generally not taken into consideration by the sentencing judge. Measure 11 also mandates that juveniles age 15 and older charged with a Measure 11 offense be tried as adults.
