Matter cannot be created or destroyed, if matter is pulled into a black hole it grows rather than expands, expansion is usually the term for when atoms are pulled apart from each other.

Gravity is the warping of the fabric of space and time (Einsteins theory of relativity), all matter is affected by the gravitational force, the more matter, the more the warping of space/time, and as a result, the black hole becomes bigger.

The fact is, very little is known about the centre of a black hole, because it is outside the realm of science, no instruments can be used to test the centre of a black hole, and it is impossible for anyone to reach the core of one, therefore all our understanding of how a black hole works, is theoretical.

The current theory by Stephen Hawking is that black holes slowly "evaporate" over time; so if you are sucked into a black hole you are crushed to microscopic size and held in the black hole; and then billions of years later the elemental particles elements that were you are released back into space to be re-used for something else.

Their is not more info about this because there are no evidences of humans being sucked into black hole but once sucked in, the object which has been sucked in will not be able to escape out from black hole's event horizon as a black hole very very very very very strong gravitational field. But some scientists say that object which went into the black hole comes out through a white hole (which is just the opposite of black holes in all aspects)
