Timothy, this is for a position at a Florida paper, so I think you just need to go to the paper and hold people hostage for awhile … like with a salad shooter or something (really newspaper reporters in the life and editorial sections will still take you seriously - they don’t get out much, although perhaps more than cartoonists). Try to think up some way they have been messing with you … like repeatedly putting papers on your porch or something - that gives you a cause.
You won’t get the job, of course, but you can write a book and make money from prison. Your child will be through all the larval stages of life by the time you get out and ready to have a healthy relationship with dad.
Good luck with that!
