It varies state by state, but the US national average is around 25% of the population. It only follows that the percentage for the state of Oregon is around 25%. The State's Attorney General office may have up to date and more accurate statistics. This is not to say that 25% of the population has been incarcerated in prison. Not all who are convicted of felonies even do time in jail. Some never see the inside of a cell. The 25% is simply a statistic for conviction.
