Release you say?

I'm curious about where people actually get released to in "The Giver." I think it may be possible that there's two separate places to go when released because there a release on bad terms, such as if you break the big time rules twice. But there is also the release when you get to a certain age, which is more like a celebratory kind of release. This will all be revealed as I edge towards the end of the book. Quite intrigued in finding out.
