The Met Police launched an investigation after the footage reportedly filmed at the jail was posted online.
Linda de Sousa Abreu, 30, of Fulham, will appear in court tomorrow charged with misconduct in public office.
HMP Wandsworth is a category B men's prison located in south west London.
The shocking video shows the woman performing a sex in a cell.
The two go on to have sex while the other cellmate films on a mobile phone.
The friend, who is smoking while recording, says: “Guys we've made history, this is what I'm telling you.”
Later in the video he adds: “This is how we roll in Wandsworth.”
A Prison Service spokesman previously said: “Staff corruption is not tolerated and the former prison officer allegedly featured in this video has been reported to the police.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate.”
The Metropolitan Police said: "A police investigation was launched on 28 June after officers were made aware of a video filmed inside HMP Wandsworth.
"A woman was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office later that day.
