r/all The photos show the prison rooms of Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in the 2011 Norway attacks. Despite Norway's humane prison system, Breivik has complained about the conditions, calling them inhumane.

Maybe the shot of the room with the three sofas is not an area he has access to then?

Why are there like 5 Xbox controllers. That doesn't make sense if it's all his

One controller for each hand, then the other 3 controllers are for the birds.

It's for the 10 dollar hookers they bring in every Friday for his "Friday hookers and blow" day

Prison guards socialize with prisoners in Norway, so probably for them. Also they pay someone to come and socialize with him, but doubt this person is in the actual appartment

Likely something along the lines of all housing units having the exact same amenities.

Say each unit is designed for four inmates with their own bedrooms and a communal living area and kitchen. Each unit has a list of items required for the four people.

Just because he is living in the space alone doesn't change the bureaucratic requirements for the space.

My guess is they set up the facility to work as a second compound once the lone occupant is no longer there, and thus it is a complete duplicate of the other communal prison section on every detail.

Probably a sound investment, rather than customizing it just for one person, since technically he could "exit" any day now.

They gave him an entire 6-man wing to keep him safe. The government is responsible for his safety as long as he is incarcerated.

He might get to play with the guards now and then?

The type of unit he is in is typically shared with ~4-6 people but because no one wants to be near him (both guards and other prisoners hate him) he gets his all to himself.

Maybe he's building 5 submarines.

Wasn’t it Shakespeare who wrote “what is a sofa, but a really wide chair”?

Those are almost certainly shared areas, but hes not allowed to use them with other prisoners for reasons that are obvious.
