A prison officer is to be charged with passing on information about a "high-profile" prisoner to The Sun newspaper in exchange for £3,350.
Richard Trunkfield, who worked at HMP Woodhill, in Milton Keynes, will face a charge of misconduct in public office.
The operational support officer was investigated by officers from Operation Elveden examining alleged payments to public officials by journalists.
No date has been set for his appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Mr Trunkfield is alleged to have "wilfully misconducted himself to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public's trust" while working at the prison between 2 March 2010 and 30 April 2010.
Alison Levitt, QC, principal legal adviser to the director of public prosecutions, said: "It is alleged that in 2010 Mr Trunkfield provided information to The Sun newspaper in breach of the terms of his employment and was paid £3,350.
"The charge relates to an allegation that Mr Trunkfield provided details to the newspaper about a high-profile prisoner."
Operation Elveden is running alongside Operation Weeting, the Met Police inquiry into phone hacking, and Operation Tuleta, which is an investigation into computer hacking and other privacy breaches.
