If light does not escape a black hole does it just sit there?

Light continues to circle around the 'black hole' in what is called the 'Schwartchild radius before disappearing into the event horizon'. This is how that scientists are said to find the 'black holes'; they find the bright 'circles' with a black hole in it. light cannot escape a black hole because the escape velocity (the velocity needed to escape the gravitation pull of a celestial body) of a black hole exceeds the speed of light.
