They are in inescapable, x-rays gamma rays is still electromagnetic radiation just like light.
just have higher energies.
X-rays are formed when the accelerate they pick up kinetic energy, and heat, eventually they have enough energy they release a photon of hi energy x-rays.
Go to the site below for more info, it will better explain what happens

There's a zone within a black hole called the 'event horizon.' Anything that passes beyond the event horizon can never return to the 'normal' universe. Outside the event horizon, all the stuff being drawn toward the black hole is accelerated to velocities near light speed which generates vast amounts of high-energy radiation (..x-rays, gamma rays, etc.,.) It's this radiation that's outside the event horizon that astronomers can detect and study.

As far as I know, the only thing that is postulated to make a black hole 'evaporate' is Hawking radiation. Other things cannot escape from it, but they may be generated *near* the event horizon as a result of the intense physics going near a black hole - matter getting energised by the very high gravitational field.

Still we haven't understood the black holes fully. It has very high gravitational force. So we assumed the light couldn't escape. As for as current thinking goes light particles photos don't have any mass. If no mass no effect of gravity. May be black holes doesn't produce any energy in the visible spectrum. So this assumption the light doesn't escape may not be true. Then it explains the Gama rays escaping.

X-rays and other light do not escape from the event horizon. They are produced outside the event horizon by gas accelerating toward the event horizon.

Right at the edge of the event horizon you find a very energetic place. As stuff gets ripped apart the things on one side of the horizon get sicked in and the things on the other side get thrown out violently. Stuff cannot get out past the horizon but the stuff right on the edge of it is all kind of busy.
This is a fairly simple explanation but you should get the idea.

If our planet is sucked into the black hole our planet will become as big as a football we will not be able to escape it .belive it or not its true . the black hole is very far away from us

Black hole is in theory only & as per theory nothing will escape through it which can experience magnetic ,gravitational or any other force .

Scientists used to believe that black holes were inescapable due to the high gravity well...however thanks to Professor Hawking most don't hold that belief anymore.

That one of the mind blowing paradoxes that make thinking about all that stuff incomprehensible until we evolue another million years or so.
