That's one of the questions we can hope might be answered in Season 2, along with whether 'Rafael' will remain loyal to La Causa. If you'll take speculation though, assuming they don't come up with a better reason, my suspicion is that there are people Inland who do know, but not everyone talks to everyone there and the 97% don't have any sort of reasonably reliable media to spread the word. (So the message is controlled by the 3%-- word of mouth does have limits!) If so, then there'd be all sorts of rumours that someone's best friend's uncle's grandma or such were spreading about The Process, yet no one would be able to separate fact from fiction.
(And I currently do think Rafael is going to stick with his "duty" to La Causa. In fact, maybe the situation with Aline getting the dead dude's wife to help her clear her name is going to become a situation he can try to take advantage of. Of course twists may happen. Perhaps instead of Michele being groomed as Ezequiel's successor, Aline will help Rafael become the next Process leader. And maybe Fernando will become La Causa's new replacement for the guy with the wooden mask.)

Yes, I do hope that this question is just unanswered rather than a plot hole. But I do like your theory. We obviously haven't seen The Offshore yet, but we really haven't seen a whole lot of The Inland either. We only get a few glimpses just to get a feel of the society rather than knowing what degree of government, media, etc. the Inland has. I am excited to hear that they are looking to do a second season. I hope they will really get into the dichotomy of these two societies, and I think they left a lot the main characters open to interesting plot lines.
I am most interested in seeing Joana's development. She seems to at least somewhat forgive herself for her past. She's smart, resourceful, and has a pretty good sense on how the Process really is.

My thoughts exactly - but with a little variation. First is that people rarely ever go back after reaching that far. The very very few who do may talk to other people but it is highly likely that people just disregard it as statements of a bitter defeated person. If you have been told about a paradise which
everyone around you believes in, would you believe the 1 person who says otherwise? Especially if you think this person has reason to disparage the place (sour grapes syndrome?).
