Recall your original quote. It strongly hints that we should be interested in “real solutions” even if they are not politically feasible. So in the linked article I expect to find a politically infeasible “real solution”. And it’s there—the author repeatedly mentions abolition of prisons. I have to assume that it’s intended to be that infeasible thing which we ought to want regardless.
It’s not clear from the article whether they would get rid of prisons tomorrow if it were politically possible. They may believe that an ideal world would not have prisons but getting rid of them overnight would be bad.
Not having a plan for getting rid of prisons or what to do instead isn’t a problem, because they aren’t advocating for that.
