She's probably just as clueless on who trapped her as everyone else. Thanks for backing me up here. :) Plus it's fair to point out that while true they didn't do anything about her imprisonment, how exactly were they supposed to know? Garnet's Future Vision wouldn't be brought up til Season 1B, and even then, Garnet probably thought it was a one-in-a-million chance of it being possible. Besides, none of the Crystal Gems anticipated that there'd be a Homeworld survivor on Earth besides Amethyst, as most of them either fled Earth or were defeated by their hands. Amethyst wouldn't be a Homeworld survivor because she didn't take part in the war nor has she ever been on Homeworld( and most likely never even been off Earth) Actually, she technically would be. After all, she was supposed to be a Quartz soldier prior to the war and simply got out too late; Peridot said so herself. Thankfully, though, as AVGN once said during the TMNT review: "Maybe that's what it was supposed to be, but not the way it turned out."

Though in retrospect I probably should have been a tad more specific; when I said "Homeworld survivor besides Amethyst", I meant that Amethyst was the last of a Homeworld generation, if you will. Sort of like the last of a dynasty. She was the last Homeworld Gem made and she just so happened to become a Crystal Gem thanks to Rose Quartz, Pearl and Garnet.
