What can you infer about the plot that Jonas remembers in chapter 1, and about the meaning of being released

I assume you're talking about the "pilot". If so, Jonas understands the pilot will be released from the community for his mistake, which means that "release" is can be defined as some type of banishment. Over the course of the novel, we come to understand that release is death.... imposed death.
