Lottie Denny, 51, was found dead in her home in the 2500 block of South 63d Street by a family member, authorities said.
Shawn Hawes, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia Prison System, said Denny did not show up for work at the department's facility at 600 University Ave., and a coworker contacted a family member about Denny's whereabouts and well-being.
Denny had worked as a correctional officer for 21 years, Hawes said.
"She was a well-liked and well-respected employee," Hawes said, adding that her colleagues were taking the news "really hard."
No arrest in the case was reported.
