From the Ashes Part 3, Chapter 29: Inception Summary & Analysis

In jail, Jesse notices another prisoner exchanging forms with the chaplain, and the guy explains to Jesse that he’s completing his high school diploma. Jesse says that he’d like to do the same, but he was never a good reader, and years of hard living have fried his brain. The other prisoner dismisses those concerns and helps him begin reading again. Soon, Jesse is passing his classes with high marks, and he feels a shift within him as he approaches the credits requirement for a high school degree.

As with his last stint in jail, when he advanced to the position of quartermaster, this current stay seems once again to be a great thing for Jesse’s journey toward recovery. The idea that Jesse would be able at this point to pass his classes with high marks after failing out of high school and spending years doing drugs indicates a natural intelligence in him that has remained undimmed through all he has endured.
