There is no "inside" of a black hole, really.
It's just a large ball of degenerate matter.
Beyond the event horizon, we don't know what happens, although there's no reason to believe that the matter beyond the event horizon behaves any differently to what it would in any othere situation, apart from being degenerate.
However, considering the area around a black hole, conservation of energy is obeyed.
What are you getting at?
