How was “the Well” on Demonreach filled with inmates?

Harry hadn't really powered up, at that time.
If he had been The Warden, ol' Shaggy would be snoozing down in a pretty crystal.

I am betting that OG Merlin himself was responsible for a fair number of the inmates.
Then a few more per Warden, over the centuries... Occasional flurries, where LOTS of inmates get added; occasional lulls, where none do.

I have a WAG that "the wardens of the White Council" is a misnomer.
"The wardens" are supposed to be adjuncts to the Warden (of Demonreach).
Conspiracy Theorist:
The White God appears to have used their power to give an ultimatum to the lesser powers, stay out of the mortal world if your power can break reality. Some powered down like Odin to stay, some retreated to the NeverNever like Hades and the Mothers, and those that did not found themselves fair game for Demonreach. Some like Mr Ferro skirted this by only extruding part of themselves into the mortal world.
The current set up of Winter and Summer is that Winter are the CIA and Summer the FBI I presume that Summers earlier task aside from watching Winter was to deal with the likes of Ethnui, it is therefore no surprise really Summer turned up to Battle Ethnui despite the falling out of the sisters in 1066, this may have been the first major threat to reality from inside since that date. This leaves a period of 400 AD (when the Merlin became active) to 1000 AD (ignoring the time travelling) that probably saw an intake of new prisoners mostly likely from the New World (those Inca and Mayan gods whose servants then styled themselves Lords of the Outer Night) the Naagloshii etc. this may explain why The Merlin established Demonreach in North America, keep it out of the Old World whilst cleaning it up.
The Old World clean up probably took place earlier before the Winter/Summer split when the Greco Roman Gods were defenders of the Gates and the Faerie Mantles created .They would have used Demonreach established by the timetravelling Merlin as providing a solution they didn’t realise they needed. I guess some entities were given the option of incarceration or on Halloween be forced to siphon their power off to others/mantles.
There may have been an earlier wave of incarcerations, but no record exists outside of Demonreach due to the Oblivion War.
seanham:
The last time this question was posed, I suggested and still wonder if Demonreach can move his essence along the ley line. So you could be halfway across the world and still sent a baddy to Demonreach. We saw in BG that you don't need to be on the island itself to be snared, so there must be at least some way the Demonreach is able to extend himself beyond the island.
