I'm liking CaptainPicky's theory the most thus far and agree that it is most likely that Garnet and the other Crystal Gems are fugitives from their race who are protecting the Earth. I'm betting that they themselves had something to do with the 'corrupted' Gems, i.e. that they somehow corrupted the other gems after an argument between them to keep them from contacting the Homeworld.
