What type of sentence do you face for a heroin delivery charge?

Unlawful delivery of heroin is a serious felony charge.  Often the charge results in a prison sentence.  The two primary factors which will factor into a sentence are the amount of heroin involved and the criminal history of the defendant.  Cases involving more that 50 grams of heroin usually result in substantial prison sentences.  See ORS 475.925(2)(c).
