Yeah, I'm talking about the movie, not the book. Kubrick said that he didn't think the last chapter in the second issuing of the book made sense to the overall feel of the movie:

There are two different versions of the novel. One has an extra chapter. I had not read this version until I had virtually finished the screenplay. This extra chapter depicts the rehabilitation of Alex. But it is, as far as I am concerned, unconvincing and inconsistent with the style and intent of the book. I certainly never gave any serious consideration to using it.
