Relatives of Cape May County Jail inmates say a song the was sung by police recruits was not music to their ears.

More than 50 recruits and their trainers jogged in formation past the jail last week singing: "Jailbirds, jailbirds, look and see. You're locked up and we're free.''

Relatives, who were in the jail parking lot, say they were shocked.

Jail officials don't believe any inmates heard the chant.

Freeholder Bob Sheets tells The Press of Atlantic City the simple thing would be to find another song or stop singing. Sheets spoke to the county's public safety training center's director.

When I was a jail inmate I pitied the guards for having to be there every day.

Freakin' whiners, they've obviously never been in the service. Songs during a 5 mile run would make them cry...

If the inmates' biggest worry is hearing this song, they should consider themselves fortunate....

Reminds me of the Alcatraz tour guide that told us, with pity in his voice, that the poor prisoners could hear San Fran partying at night when they were freezing on the island.
