That's whats stated but there hasn't been an explanation as to why they need to do it. Even after Rose Quartz died, the Crystal Gems continued to hunt down Corrupted Gems but without Steven or Rose around they have no way help them - so all they've been doing is locking them away. And there hasn't been direct or malicious attacks on humans by Corrupted Gems.

Even when Steven wanted to help, Garnet and Pearl made a protest of it. Even Amethyst is in the dark.
