Three Strikes and Habitual Offender Laws in Oregon

Oregon has no general three-strikes law, but it has repeat-offender rules for certain crimes. A felony sex crime carries a presumptive sentence of life without parole if the person has already been sentenced for felony sex crimes at least twice (a judge may depart for substantial and compelling reasons). A person convicted of a major felony sex crime (first-degree rape, sodomy or unlawful sexual penetration, or using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct) with a previous such conviction gets a mandatory minimum of 25 years. A 'dangerous offender' with a severe personality disorder may receive up to 30 years for certain violent felonies.
