Explanation:

The given text is taken from the transcript of the interview of Laura Bates with Michel Martin.

The interview was conducted for Bates to talk about her experience in writing the book "Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bards." Bates decided to teach the lessons from the plays written by Shakespeare in the Indiana Prison.

In the given passage, the word 'jacket' is used to refer to mean 'appearance.'

The speaker, Martin, is referring to the prisoners in the text. He means to say that the prisoners are more than the way they appear, which Bates was able to recognise.

So, the correct answer is appearance.
