There are still a number of ways the lawyer can help the accused, such as working out a deal to reduce jail time or making sure none of their rights were violated in the arrest and subsequent confession.

Yes. That would be the part where they ensure a fair process.
But why does informing law enforcement that your client literally admitted to the crime and you have it on record suddenly break that? Why does the justice system suddenly turn a blind eye to this situation and in fact consider it injustice if the lawyer were to inform anybody of the fact that his client literally admitted to it?
There's more justice in letting a guilty person go free than go to jail, simply because the process lacked information that the defense knew, or the prosecution was incompetent?
