I'm an abolitionist* and agree with many of your points, but the political leverage to do a 'big bang' reform of the entire criminal justice/carceral system at once doesn't currently exist, nor are there neatly packaged answers for all of the complex problems. , so in the meantime we're still working within an incrementalist framework.

* as in that's the political position I hold, I wasn't involved in any way with this initiative or attempting to take credit or provide insider perspective on it.
