Euphemisms:
In this society, they talk about "releasing" people. They do this because they do not want people to understand the truth of what is going on. The truth might upset people and cause them to have emotions.

I think what you mean by this is like how Jonas is "a twelve" -- not that he's twelve years old. This is done to make the people in the society seem more uniform and less like individuals. We say Jonas is part of some group (12s) rather than focusing on something that is about him.
