Space elevator into a blackhole. Possible?

Inspired by Spaceship orbiting a black hole under the event horizon - a prison where no one escapes, I was wondering if it is possible to make a space elevator that goes down into a black hole.

In particular, I imagine it would have the following parts:

• The space prison, where the prisoners can play Yahtzee for the rest of their lives. It is below the event horizon slightly.
• The space anchor, which is connected to the space prison. This is basically a giant counter weight orbiting the black hole, outside of and far away from the event horizon. It is tethered to the space prison. Also, the wardens are here.
• Elevators: The elevators take new prisoners to the space prison. When the elevator goes into the black hole, it can't get out, so its just ejected into the singularity. That means you need a new elevator each time you go down into the black hole.

My question is, is such a prison even physically possible?
